I've been so busy these last few weeks that I barely have time to tell you about MommaBean's visit last month before she arrives today for another visit. Sheesh, time sure does fly.
Last month MommaBean got to come and visit us for a WHOLE WEEK! A full week with nothing to do but sit, relax and just be with each other. No rushing around, no big sightseeing trips etc. just relaxing and creating.
Bear and Momma Bean!
I mean look at those smiling faces. Who wouldn't love them to bits?
When MommaBean comes you know what that means don't you? It means 2 things...
Eating great food...
and Art!! Lots of ART!
This is what my studio looks like when you put two painters together and someone calls out
"Ready, Set, PAINT"
My mother can inspire anyone to do anything just by being her. She is a Muse.
She inspired me to paint something I had been thinking about for some time but I wasn't sure how to go about it.
You may remember this photo from my Ireland trip a couple years ago.

Below is the photo that I wanted to use but I wanted to paint it to show how I felt at the time, not just paint what it actually looked like. Does that make sense?
With my mother behind me all the way encouraging me and giving me a suggestion when ever I got stuck, this is it. I LOVE it!
I am so in love with this painting. I can't tell you how good it felt to finish this and have it turn out just how I wanted it to. My mother is a Muse among Muses!
Here she is actual size.
I can't wait to see what kinds of fun fantastic creative things we get up to this time.
All I know is, it's gonna be a blast!

It has been so many years since I have seen your Mom, my Aunt Linda! When you talk to her next time tell her I send my love and hugs! I'd love to spend some time with the both of you and share in the artistic creativity. Keep up the good work, love your blog and your miniature paintings!
Wow, wonderful work! You totally captured the mood & spirit of the place & bonus points for miniature too! Keep up the great work. Someday we'll get there for some of that blackhog too X
I love your tiny tiny paintings! Of course it helps I love tiny things! This is so beautiful.
