Ooohh - I like this!  More? Please?

I had an emotionally abusive childhood, and my escape was to pack a lunch and disappear into the woods for the day, enjoying the wildlife, singing to myself, thinking hard...I think I was ready to leave home by the age of 10 and live in a tent out in those woods.  God knows how I would support myself other than fishing and eating nuts and berries!  I hadn't figured that out, yet!

Cheers,

I do love your painting.  I had a similar background and used painting as a way to escape from the family.  I love to paint trees, sunsets, water, and people loving each other.  Will you put more paintings up for us to see?  Charley

I like to paint all animals. I guess it starts with my childhood. I grew up in such an abusive home I got more kindness from animals. I started to pretend I was an animal.

Like Jane Goodall, who I met when I was in College, I would watch animals for hours. I find every gesture wonderful. I have a large photograph I bought from a New York photographer of Jane  Goodall in my den.

Here I have my three dogs. My two cats. A colony of bats. Squirrels. Deer and Birds of all kinds. My husband Mike likes animals as much as I do.

The bright colors and animals are a world I created for myself.

I photograph the animals I paint, make my own frames and paint whimsical backgrounds. I paint the hairs individually.
