music city notes

it's hard not to get swept away 

by floating sounds and notes

when you live and work in nashville.

the music influence is strong here, 

but lucky for everyone else 

the only public singing I do is on canvas!

metamorphosis

metamorphosis

:

a major change

the name 

for this painting seems appropriate in many ways.

this painting is one that has taken me longer than most, 

almost 6 months to complete!

it has been a stop and go process- sketching, painting,

color changes, stretches of work and periods of rest.

the process seems almost prophetic 

mirroring my life as a baby is grows in my belly, 

morphing and changing, 

days away from emerging as a beautiful butterfly!
