She sees you coming, she sees you going. She sees you. Mixed media – ink and watercolor.


Amanda Gorman — a talented
poet laureate
reciting original
work at President
Biden’s
inauguration
—
was the inspiration
for this drawing.
Graphite pencil, with
a watercolor
light wash.

A distinctive lady
passes through
Union Station in
Washington, DC
and a quick sketch
was born,
fallen blooms
moments past their
peak were
collected,
and this Bloomin’
Lady revealed
her Springtime charm.
Mixed media.
Pencil. Ink. Fallen tree blossoms. Paint.

This gentle,
caring
lady
devotes her life
to healing
others
through
acupuncture
and kind deeds.
She took on the glow
of an angel as I
painted her portrait.
Which came as no surprise!
Read her amazing
story of grit and
courage.
Mixed media: Charcoal, Ink, Paint

Cut
flowers
detailed in ink
grew into
a St. Paddy’s day
bouquet
washed in
watercolor.

This mixed media
began with
delicate ink markings
and then
transformed by
watercolors,
aiming to honor
the
song birds
and the
coming of
spring.

This tulip
grew from
a powerful
seedling
with muscular
branches,
and hand-like
leaves,
and then
she looked at me
and laughed,
for she had
grown two lips
and she sang and
smiled.

A single drink,
led to…
an opening,
a new thought,
a changed
direction,
and then came
a collage,
some lace,
and whatever
could be found,
not knowing
an ending,
a destination,
it didn’t matter.
That drink,
satisfied,
a thirst.
