Broken Dreams - a new series



Good morning! I've finally finished another piece and will be starting a new one today. This is a first in a new series called "Broken Dreams". It is 14x18 acrylic on canvas. I love painting people. I love telling a story through them. When people ask me why I paint such sad paintings sometimes, I always tell them, "Life is not always happy. People live through terrible times and their stories need to be told. A piece of art should provoke an emotion, and that emotion doesn't always have to be happy."

Love and peace to you all, in the coming new year. xo

Life Fulfilled





I sold this painting today at the Coronation Hall in Bristol, Quebec, of an elderly woman in Guatemala. I took a picture of her selling avocados in the market, when I was there. I fell in love with her face so I painted it!






.... I will miss her.
