Gallery V selection of paintings — new work

About 11:00 pm on December 31, 1999, I went into my studio intent on painting something I previously had in mind. When I got there, I was caught up in the oneness and harmony of the world’s celebration of the third millennium. I was especially moved by the tribute to the sunrise. I picked up the materials I felt fitting at the time — my watercolors and a thin veil of cotton fabric — and painted through the night. Then I went outside to honor the sun’s rising.

The following paintings are from a work-in-progress series on the Survivor — women who have faced loss, war and devastation in their lives. Paintings are 3′ x 4′, watercolor on fabric. Sketches are pencil on paper, approximately 11″ x 14″.

More children’s portraits in pastel are in the portraits gallery.
