Peace

Good Monday Morning!


This past Saturday, I went out to the unveiling of “Your Face Here” at Pop Tart Gallery; it was a beautiful exhibit and I LOVED my portrait. I looked so young and fresh, ha!

The piece here is step #2 of my LaChapelle/ Pamela Anderson 'Little Girl.' It’s the finished sketch before I trace it onto the canvas. While working on the piece this weekend, I realized that there is an additional step; there are 7 and not 6 steps.


On a different note,

I have finally finished my piece from my Evolution series titled “Paz En El Corazon.” It is honor of Mama. Over the years, these words are the ones I most remember her saying. Her wish to have ‘peace in her heart’ is all she has ever wished for. They have been words to live by; they remind me that the most important thing in life is to have that sense of tranquility within myself.

Interesting that this past Friday, I read the story of a rose called 'Peace' and I thought of Mama. In short, rose seedlings that were exported from France during World War II and in 1945 it was voted the most beautiful rose, (You can Google and read the full story). Over the years whenever I see roses, I think of Mama. I think of the beauty she has been in our world. And now when I see roses, I will forever think of Mama and of Peace together.



“Paz En El Corazon,” the piece shown below, sat untouched for almost 2 years. And after finishing up this most beautiful piece, I am re-inspired to complete the series. So far I have completed about 25 pieces. I am thinking that it will come down to a total of 40 pieces.

Now, I am left wondering what to paint in Papa’s honor; this will be a challenge. I’m curious!


With curiosity, go out in the world and wonder!

Peace out, Peace In.
