Sometimes you are just too busy with life,
to be carrying your camera and creating new posts.
So I thought that I would just take you on
a little trip down memory lane.
There are a lot of little white spots on these photos,
they came from my scanner screen.
These snap shots were taken about twelve years ago.
Notice the portrait of Steve.
I did sketches of him at the helm of our
Wazapan . . .
then came home and painted this.
More paintings.
At the easel.
I love old Spanish Architecture.
This is a mural that I was commissioned to paint
in the master bedroom of a new home.
What they didn't tell me before I took the job,
was that the carpet (white) was already laid.
This made Connie a very nervous gal.
I hope that you enjoyed my little trip down memory lane.
Have a great day :)
Wow, Connie, I love your paintings! Thank you for the vernissage :)! Maria

ReplyDeleteThank you . . . Fran.
DeleteI just see how much older looking, twelve years has added to my face, LOL.
I love seeing these, because I am a newer follower. Amazing, my favorites are the Native American and horse, the moon and tree, and the girl with the tear, what does that one represent?
ReplyDeleteHi Ginny, I named that one "Purple Tear".
DeleteI'm happy that you like it.
Heavens Connie! How nerve wracking for you - but that's what drop-cloths are for, eh?
ReplyDeleteWonderful art, you are very talented.
It was horrible . . . I usually find painting to be relaxing . . . but not that job :)
DeleteIt's so nice to see you . . . thanks for the sweet visit.

ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, I think that you are right . . . we caught up in "right now" . . . and sometimes need to look back at our life and take a good look. We have all done so many things. Things that have made us who we are today. :)

ReplyDeleteHi Anita, you are such a sweetheart . . . thank you :)
DeleteI love that mural, and I can imagine the care you took not to drip paint on the carpet.
ReplyDeletePersonally, that paint would have improved the carpet, though.
I started laughing so hard that I choked :)

Gaby
