obsession

heARTbeatgal with her favourite shed

 


dna

i recently had my DNA tested

in the name of genealogy

learning that maternal lines share the same DNA is fascinating

explains a lot

is deeply comforting

and helped to explain the importance of this piece

 

 

a work in progress over the last couple of years

a plethora of minute changes

multiple layers of

grand-daughter, daughter, sister, mother

 

portraits are not my thing (clearly), it felt like a test i must take

in the end it is my homage

to the great women of my life

i owe you everything

hey, universe!

where are my walking sticks at?

i know patience isn’t my strong suit

but i have heard from two only

the six others are off on their adventures without checking in at home

i just wanted to let them know i was thinking about them

hoping they are having fun

p.s. and this happens to be my two -hundredth post. imagine that!


unexpected

without much notice

a piece is resolved

without ANY notice, iPhoto made the photo pink

how could i complain?!

if this piece explores my personal journey, then unexpected is apt

 

pieces of me – oil and collage  2.5′ x 4′ (not really pink all over)

 

every bit of paper in this work has particular meaning for me

the devil is in the details (come visit to see for yourself!)

and, if “rainbow sunshine magic” was the jumping off point

this feels like the next chapter in the evolution of my story

a few meditative steps down the path

…and we get our dining room table back!

p.s. though i am fond of pink, i will sort out my snaps and post a proper picture in my gallery shortly


knock knock
