She started off as a pencil sketch then I added digital coloring. The little sister’s face is familiar to other paintings of mine. She’s also got her little white daisy hanging low as she walks about dust in search of color. Daisy’s sister is half way there.

Details: A young black child, girl, hair ribbons, big brown eyes, soft blue dress, white daisy facing down, sepia background, selective coloring.

She’s coming right along. I need give her eye lashes as well as a few nicks and tucks then she’ll be all ready. Her red beret is so sweet.

Both dolls were 100% hand stitched and hand painted. Their clothing is from rescued materials.

In Angel's Arms

This painting was originally titled “Birth of a Fairy” but as I looked at it longer she reminded me more of an angel than a fairy.

So here we have an African-American angel holding a child with her wings span wide as a shield. Her skirt comes down and paints the earth in vivid colors of blue, green and purple.

When The Light Comes

This is the sister painting to Night Hold.

The close up view shows rays of chaotic color held back by light. Her hand also pushes it back while the other reaches for what she needs and longs for.

The child is not afraid, she’s been waiting for her shining light to come. It’s not an end nor is it somewhere far away. She walks into hope right here, right now on the earth we know.

Night Hold is pictured below.

Storyteller

Two young children sit close to their grandfather and listen.
“Grandfather, tell us again.”

Painting details: A grandfather sits close with one child on the left and one on the right. His hair is snow white, his skin solid black as is the skin of the two children. His robe is long and kingly. Each figure is featureless but not faceless. There’s a strong cobalt blue background with green, salmon and cream accents. This is a touching family moment between a grandfather and his grandchildren while sitting a top a hill in the open air.
