"Shears"

Her legs sometimes get in the way while she is gardening...

"Tigerlilly"



"Tigerlilly" 7.5"x11" Watercolor and graphite on paper

The wild Tigerlilly is a rare flower of extraordinary attributes. In the early spring, before the trees get their leaves, it emerges from the soil on foggy mornings. It only fully blooms for one morning, and it disappears before the sun reaches it's apex. They are gone by the afternoon as they are cannibilistic and tend to eat each other. They are safe to be picked since they dislike nibbling on people.

I am so, so pleased with this painting! From the foggy trees to the sublime expression on the girl's face, it has a wonderful flow to me. I like literal takes on words, and tigerlillies really lend themselves to this concept.

Seahorse Mermaid




We'll ride out the waves
And the storms in the sea.
Oh, it's you that I crave,
And you that I need.

We'll throw caution aside
And cast out our fear.
For this reckless ride,
Love, I just want you near.

Nothing can touch me
With you by my side,
So we'll ride out recklessly
Breakneck through the tide.

We are soul mates, my dear.
Oh, it's you that I crave.
My love, this much is clear,
That we'll ride out the waves.

This is a painting of an event that is physically impossible, like an apple falling upwards. My mind and my heart never seem to agree with each other.... And a perfect ballance? Impossible.

"I Can't Risk Losing You"




Maybe you would be happier running free. Maybe you would be happier away from me. Maybe you would be happier with someone else, or in another place. But you are precious to me. I just can't risk losing you.....
