Sunny Grace

It is a quiet Sunshiny morning in Haiku

I am all surfed out (until this afternoon any way!) so my day is dedicated to painting

I am working on a new line of portraits for the Haiku Style Gallery

of women around the world

I am stretching my pallet

new color combos I would normally shy away from

textile and paper blending into my paintings etc...

But more importantly drawing attention to a feeling that has always been important to me as a woman

and that is...

 ~we look to each other~

 from mother to daughters

sister and friends

 we look to each other

 for advice

for inspiration

 for encouragement

~we are role models for our daughters...~

several of my new portraits are of my own daughter, myself,  family and friends

 as well as woman

whom I find inspirational

due to their

strong individual styles and caricature

The joy for me

is That each encounter I have

with a woman in her power

enriches my own life greatly

bringing these paintings out

which are the face of  feminine

Strength, Love and Beauty

I hope will

remind each of us 

to see our own Grace in each other

Blessings to each of you
