Look closely at my scarf... ​

 
My portrait and printed textiles combined!

I am currently trying out my artwork on scarves, they are not all portraits but other imagery I've painted.  I will add the others shortly.  

It has been over two years since writing on my blog!  I have been very busy, not with my portraits but with life in general. Both mine and my daughter's lives have changed in a positive direction since the tragic loss of my husband and my daughter's beloved father suddenly back in 2015.  I had to continue working through, so just did not have the time or inclination to paint my portraits. 

 A couple of years past and I meet my boyfriend and father to our 10 month old beautiful baby boy.  We are all in love and awe of our little bundle of joy and feel so blessed.  Lila-Pearl adores her brother and he adores her. We are all in such a good place right now.  Of course, not a second goes by without thinking of Mark. He will always be with us.

I have decided to concentrate on combining my portraits and my printed textile designs together for a while.  I have been working in design studios for over 20 years and would like to work on my own designs now.  

Here is a quick sketch of my daughter Lila-Pearl 11 and her brother Edward 9 months old.
