The Family -Sold




 I have been so blessed by meeting this family many years ago.  The father of this group was a great man, one of the most humble I have ever known and his wife one of the sweetest women who has ever crossed my path.  Patty has been a constant source of joy and kindness with the best smile and warmest of hugs.  I love how this picture shows the extended family ties, even the two four legged "kids" who make this family portrait complete.

Mary Claxton, Yates and Mattie


These are three cute siblings that visit our church with their aunt.  I had the pleasure of sitting behind them one Sunday and I was mesmerized at their little personalities.

My Baby -sold




 One of the greatest joys of motherhood or fatherhood is holding our sweet babies.  The softness of their skin, the way their hair smells, the way they curl their little bodies into our arms leaves the impression on our hearts that remains forever.  Today I ran into my 45 year old son at the grocery store of all places and he hugged me and said, "Hi Mom".  Because I was working on little LaRue's portrait, memories flashed through my mind of all the little and big hugs I have received over the years and how I can still remember those first days of his life. The presence of his life changed mine forever.

Through Thick and Thin - SOLD


 Several years ago I took a random shot of my two good friends talking.  I loved the look they shared between them.  That look said so much.  I am here for you.  We have been friends for over 30 years and this weekend we are spending a girls weekend together so painting this picture brought back so many memories of our lives.  Good times and bad that we have shared and walked through together.  Through thick and thin we have remained there for each other.  I have painted this picture several times for different people.  I always paint it a little different but the feeling remains the same and the message that girlfriends know in their hearts.
