I confess, I love era paintings, tapestry, paisley, mismatch patterns and oversize flowers. These are the inspirations for my experimental painting below.

She’s not yet learned to bend with grace or extend her arms in confidence.
She has yet to learn how to withstand heavy winds
Or hold herself under weight never meant for her.
Wobbly and uncertain she sways in the grass growing lovely.
Tall and slender she blends perfectly with tender blooms.
Around her together every form of life hangs on her soft whisper,
He will come.
He will lift my burden.
Every sparrow, every cloud above knows He will.

“Crystal’s Tree” has been on my mind for weeks. I saw a quote on the net about children who live with adult responsibility and fight with everything they have to manage it with their inadequate resources. It was a touching quote.

Last Tuesday on my way to an appointment my cad driver and I passed a terrible car accident. A man, skinny as a rail pulled a grown woman from her wrecked truck and carried her to the sidewalk as if she were a rag doll. What impressed me was how gently he placed her in the grass. What broke my heart was that he then lay over her chest and wept.

The young girl in the style of Simple Miss Rose was digitally coloured. The only part not in the original drawing are the flowers at her feet.
Weep For Me – a simple drawing for a very moving situation.

This is one of three child angels in a dream I had not long ago. In the dream there were three children each on a pole. I’ve had the dream twice now so I’m in the process of painting all three children.

This Asian-flair painting is version two of Simple Miss Rose. I have a feeling this isn’t the last of Simple Miss Rose. We’ll have to see what other beauty she can get herself into.
Her hair went from medium blond to slick black. I also added a pattern to her shirt and sleeves as well as a few nearly transparent leaves to her skirt.
Two days ago i printed off the original version in very small format. I framed it and placed it on my bookshelf. It’s so tiny but adorable. The image size is 3 inches by 2.5 inches. It’s about the size of a business card. I mounted it and put it in a frame especially designed for tiny prints. I think I like the size because they don’t take up a lot of room.
As much as I’m into art I don’t like a bunch of stuff on the walls but I do like small art. These miniature prints work quite nicely for small spaces and for times when you want to switch up art in the house. I’ll take photos of them soon and perhaps offer a few in my Etsy shop.
Thanks for visiting,
