Painting 'for' stress...

Painting has always had a calming effect on me...and I have needed it lately.  My mom has been in the hospital twice, and there was a fatal car crash outside my house.  Talk about stress...haha!  So, I have been practicing new techniques and trying to learn new things (some of them are pretty basic...some not).

This one was just for fun...

The King...  12x9

When mom started having problems, I decided it was time to do what had been on my mind for awhile...I had wanted to do one that had not only her current self, but her younger self as well.  I'd planned on something different, but this is what I did...and it kept me from worrying quite so much...
In Her Dreams...  18x24

Then back to just for fun...quick studies...
 Flamingo...  11x14
Bugs-eye View...  8x10

Then I got serious again, and both wanted and needed the calming effect of this one...
Balance and Harmony...  18x24 wrapped canvas

I hope you enjoying seeing what I have been doing.
