"Sarah - Fully Alive"

One of my Granddaughters lives nearby and I have the opportunity to be a part of  special celebrations and capture  candid moments like this one captured on her birthday a couple of years ago.  When I first saw the photo, I knew I had to paint it someday... There will be an exhibit "Fully Alive" coming up and this is the  vision I  couldn't get out of my head.   Sarah enjoying a simple activity to it's fullest.

Daisies and Pottery

This is a WIP I'm working on.   I love the warm colors of the jug and it's color harmony with the indian motif clothe.  I still have a bit of  finishing work to do but thought I'd share the WIP (work in progress).

The Ultimate Taboret

I've been very lazy about posting and plan to change that for 2013 (New Years Resolution) although it would look as if that has not happened yet.   This is mainly because of a water  break at the house which has taken up far more time than  I would have ever  imagined!  This will all change very soon as I hope to start painting daily again so please continue  to visit my site.

The main reason for this post is to let you know of  some fabulous taboret plans that a good friend of mine has recently made available.  I got mine last night and  they are not only thorough and detailed but mapped out for those of us who  are visual.  Garry (Kravit) is a wonderful artist and designed the "Ultimate Taboret" with all the features an artist could possible want.   He also makes himself available in case  there are any questions in the building/assembly.
