some recent work by Lilian
it’s hard to keep track of and to photograph her work these days
she’s always working within lots of notebooks as well as doing a lot of digital art on her tablet
but i try to keep up…

Lilian’s interpretation of me with my little indoor jungle
a bluejay
“a portrait of my daughter, once a week, every wee, in 2020”
Lilian
at lowe’s where picked up a wreath, two small winter trees and some lights to decorate our front porch
this year we are not getting a christmas tree
not a real one anyway
happy monday friends
december
the last month of this crazy pandemic twenty twenty year
my birthday month
i will be forty eight this month
forty eight
almost fifty
almost half a century
and holy shit if that’s not a mind fuck
not so much over the age as a number but age as time
more often than not, i don’t feel forty eight
i certainly never even thought about forty eight
there were plenty of times when i thought i wouldn’t make it to forty eight
either by careless living or self depressed doing
but here i am
constantly shedding layers and becoming who i am supposed to be
happy friday friends
a gloomy morning
a three color painting
the power of green. and sunshine
an afternoon walk
inspired by red lately
first day of december. first dusting of snow
lots of new goodies in the shop
a pigsgiving in my old neighborhood
a dressed moment for errands and a lunch date
memories of a 6 year old Lilian
excited to get her back today for two weeks
painting with only three colors
without mixing said colors
happy ARTsy wednesday friends

Lilian
she’s at William’s for the week and i miss her like crazy already
happy monday
Lilian and i…
we have had a wonderful week
so thankful for a super short school week (only monday and tuesday)
with no school and no after school activities this week, we were able to really catch up, snuggle, hang in, watch movies, have sleepovers….
we needed this
it never feels like enough time in a week with everything going on
so thankful for this break
hope you all had a great thanksgiving
lots to be thankful for during these crazy times we are living in
happy weekend friends
last saturday out and about in matching jumpsuits
painted a jumpsuit as a commission project
my reblooming orchid babies
got an area rug. have been wanting one for so long
beautiful late autumn skies
pod pajama day on the last day before thanksgiving break

on a beautiful autumn afternoon in the river arts district
we had a great weekend together
hope yours was a great one too
happy monday
although sunny and beautiful, temperatures dropped this week and it was quite windy
as well as covid cases rising
making it perfect to just stay at home, paint, clean, reorganize, nest…
with the exception of a few outings, that’s exactly what i did
it felt like an extra long week without Lilian
but, it’s finally friday and she will be getting here before 4pm
happy weekend friends
home seen from the backyard
an afternoon walk with a favorite asheville friend
favorite color combo
food cravings
Sam and Kate
a sunny corner
a new couch
miami memories
i began painting on canvas again this weekend
it had been several months
feels good to be back to the brushes and paint
acrylic
happy ARTsy wednesday friends
