last button on the coat


My Great Aunt Bernice died today. She liked to refer to herself as the last button on the coat, as she was the last of her five siblings still alive. She was a first generation Swedish American, and dedicated her life to caring for her family. Here is a picture of Aunt B & E and Grandfather Herb. All have passed to their heaven. It will be sad to return to Oregon one day.

"may flower"

A customer at Sacred Art on Roscoe commissioned me to do a flower to go with "april daisy" below. The only instructions were to paint blue sides... (to match "april daisy").
I did both of these, and decided on "april daisy2" as the best of the two... Almost all of the pieces you see on my blog are painted on thick 1-1/2 inch canvas, and I paint the sides with contrasting colors.
