Just finished...

Just finished "Spring time girl".   Nothing like a  rabbit, a daffodil and the cutest tree pose
ever to herald the beginning of Spring!!!

Brave Warrior finished...

Finished up this painting today...
This is a little warrior that would fly if he could... His spirit seems to soar as he decends into
the pose.  

Brave Warrior

Earth energy, sky energy...  a beautiful balance.     Almost finished this little painting.   Thank you
Malleck, you are a wonderful yogi and model.

"Oh Baby" all done...

It is January 30th and I am off to a good start for Calendar 2013.   This is the first time I have had a "pregnant Mama" in the calendar.   It seems fitting as I taught prenatal yoga for many years and prenatal and postpartum exercise classes before I began yoga in 1988.    This lovely model is seasoned in "the art of baby making".  This is her 4th pregnancy.   Lovely lady, indeed.
   I have always found a deep spiritual component in the journey and mystery of pregnancy and birth.
I hope I have captured that here.

Mama Yoga

This painting is blooming and coming alive....  My painting brain is beginning to warm up and the juice is flowing...  I can feel the love in this image.

Oh Baby, Baby, Baby....

A beginning...
I am feeling a little rusty as I have not been painting for a few months, since October.
I will see what new imaginings are coming up...
So delighted to have a pregnant Mama to
include in the new calendar.
I taught prenatal yoga for many years....
always a privilege to be in the presence
of these beautiful women.

First Photo Shoot of 2012

How can I go wrong with a beautiful model like this....
Finally one of my yoga students is pregnant... and a willing model for calendar 2013.
This is her 4th baby. 
She is a beautiful expression of new life blooming.   Can't wait to start the preliminary drawing.
