Bunny Girl


Bug cleanedout her room the other day, she wanted to give away all of her toys because shehas too many and some children have none. It was such an important thing for her to do, letting go and moving on..... Growing up. Each toy she said goodbye to, hugged and thanked it. It was very sad for me to let go all of these precious items that held memories for me too....also watching her growing, allowing that. I made this paining in response to these feelings...


Contemplation of a Dragonfly



A new bug catcher and net has sent JJ into a frenzy of finding and viewing all sorts of wonderous insects. In turn his rapture and delight has found it's way into my art making.

Dagonflies are very symbolic for me personally and with this painting I hoped to express some of my contemplations. The transitory nature of life.... delight tinged with sadness... the passing of a moment...
