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. )

RJ Oil on Canvas 18″ x 24 ” Circa 1994
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)
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 ~















I can’t wait to see them!
:O) The canvas came last night and I got two sketched out already. Sooo excited!
