My Inner Child Is Calling

When I first started painting, I was known for my paintings of children. 

RJ, shown below, is one of my earliest examples.   

(Please pardon the quality of image. This is a scan of a photo of the painting. )

Recently, one of my licensee’s,   The Art Needlepoint Company  suggested I explore children again, and I loved the idea.

So I ordered 20, yep 20, 18″ x 24 ” canvases and intend to complete a series of children at play. 

They will all have a vintage … 1930′s look and feel, inspired by photos of my mother as a child.

(Yes I have permission to use the photos.)

 

Mom :O)

Mom :O)

 

I can’t wait for the canvas to arrive!

My inner child is calling and somehow I feel like Mom’s hanging around too.

My goal is to complete 12 of these by the end of the year.

I’ll keep you posted ~
