I hope you aren’t getting tired of these monochromatic paintings, I’m certainly not!! These paintings are pushing me and I’m finding such joy and peace in creating them.

It’s summer here, so I’ve been working in the studio with my boys by my side ~ one son coding a computer game and one son creating awesome digital animations. We are all creating and learning in sync, sometimes with music, and it has been a divine way to start summer. I really respect their urges to create… I totally understand the need to have uninterrupted work time. We respect each other’s space and time, and it is just wonderful. I’m so blessed to have these little humans by my side.

I’m working on painting #6 today, her name is Wishing.

Below is the series of paintings so far, from current to earliest:
