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. ~

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."

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.
