Heavenly, 2008, Oil on Panel, 8x10Just a quick hello today. I am booked for the rest of the day with meetings, errands, picking up the kids, dropping them off etc. In between those things I have to fit in a quick visit to an opening reception here at the local arts organization where I have a few paintings in a show. I agreed to participate because the title "There is More Under the Water Than Fish" was pretty intriguing and I immediately thought that I could connect this subject with the figures I have been playing around with. Cause, you know, I immediately thought of dead people underwater. Heh. So in the last few weeks I have done four pieces for this show. They were fun but I can't say I am entirely happy with them, because I didn't quite get them to where I had hoped. However, Doug assured me that I would not embarrass myself by displaying them in public. How is that for a ringing endorsement? Well, I did enjoy doing them anyway.
Oh and these particular paintings were difficult to photograph so I feel that I must say yet again that they look so much better in person.

These are quite eerie and strange (but beautiful!), I like the top one as a more angelic sort of glowing figure - the bottom one seems to be surprised at dropping her purse under water - as well she might be!
