Be Still & Know. Acrylic on round board 5"
My mom asked for my last piece like this so I gave it to her, she doesn't often ask for a painting. I made myself a tiny replacement but have a larger in the works. This tiny bear knows love surrounds her as she sits and admires all Gods glory on a moonlit night & what a lovely moonlit nigh it was last night! Today, I woke to a magnificent sunrise through the leaves on the trees- soon to disappear for another year. Be Still & know.
I also started another E.T. as I enjoyed the one I painted in gouache.. today I'll add a few more details. I'm pleased so far as he has detail that you can 'feel' & a finger that glows with shimmering gold that changes with the light. I have a weeks worth of round canvas with the "quote' side already painted and the other sketched, there are not enough hours in the day for painting and pondering.
Below is my moms partner Geoffrey, what a lovely human he is & I'm grateful he is in her (our) life & visa versa. Every visit he comes with salmon & potatoes tarts he makes (delicious, I've blogged about them already), he brings ziplocks of peeled frozen clementines, he knows how much I like oranges but gave them up because peeling them simply hurts my hands. I asked him to pick me up some cheesies from Costco & he brought up a container I could easily put Poppy in & still have room - I feel like a glutton holding it, heehee but I don't eat much junk food so I forgive myself. The dogs love him too! He's a pet magnet. I've never heard him utter a mean word about anyone & he is very patient.
Every opportunity to converse, I learn something fascinating & think - that Geoffrey is more than meets the eye, for sure. He also plays a great scrabble game -yay! He spoils my mom & he also spoils their cat! Anyhow, I just love this photo, it makes me smile every time I look at it.
Next - E.T.
