Moonbeam And The Mother-ship











A thousand little windows blew open.


12x30" oil on canvas


Day one of youngest child away at college. She called to ask if it was weird not having her here. Let's see... she and I have lived together for six thousand, eight hundred and three days (give or take a few here and there). Yes! It's weird!...and extremely quiet. Hmm. It's only the first day.

yes, weird! I had that experience just about a year ago.... very quiet.
But, you do get used to it.... after awhile. And its always a JOY when any of them return home!
In the meantime, this is such a fun painting!

Thanks, Helen. I'm always painting about those darn kids, aren't I?
