Mom and her dog

From my exhibit- 
"Many years; Many faces"
Category: Women- Mom

Mom Loves Choochie.
You can see it in her eyes; 
the sweet smile.
She loves her dog. 
More than anything.
Her friend, her child, her world.

Royalty

From my exhibit- "Many years; Many faces" 
Category: Men- Friend
In the 80s I began a painting project where I attempted to paint people as I saw them in another era, country, or style. Herewith is one of them:


"Royal.
I pictured velvet, embroidered and rich.
A person of stature. 
Tall in spirit; gentle in manner.
Could be a footman, a page,
or a king."
~ Johanna Bohoy

Top Hat

From my exhibit- "Many years; Many faces"
Category: Men
In the 80s I began a painting project where I attempted to paint people as I saw them in another era, country, or style. Herewith is one of them:

I envisioned him at the turn of the century.
In top hat and cape.
Dashing and handsome.
Beard and bow.
Summoning his carriage to swoop me up.
