Found bird-


Found Bird-
Acrylic on artboard-
5 x 7 inches

Found it with Lucy on the way to school yesterday. Yes, she did think
I was a strange mom to pick it up and take it home to paint, but aren't
moms strange anyway? I think it comes with the job description:
Mom:
provider,
nurturer,
hugger,
teacher,
strange.

White roses (fake)-



White rose (fake)-
Acrylics on art board
5 x 7 inches

In the morning light,
you squint,
and you don't see the plastic-
Making our life beautiful,
(sometimes just bearable)
is a matter of
knowing the right tricks-
is it?

Pear in front of a stormy sky-


Pear in front of a stormy sky-
5 x 7 inches, acrylic on board

We had a very Greek-Canadian Thanksgiving.
The menu:
cheese pie,
dolmathes,
roasted potatoes,
smoked salmon,
big Greek salad,
hummus,
apple crumble
and/or
pumpkin pie
with ice-cream.
And I am still stuffed...
but thankful...!
How about you?

Hugs,

Holly by the window-


Holly by the window-
acrylics on gessoed board
5 x 7 inches

    My great-grandmother lived through a war that devastated and uprooted her young family.
Years later, my mother always remembered her grandma Maritsa's home (in a goverment housing project in Athens) to be cheerful and pretty, because Maritsa made sure it was always
decorated with fresh flowers (daily baking smells probably helped too!)

Bird on the wire-


Bird on the wire-
Acrylics on gessoed board-
5x7 inches

This looks like it could become a small series of small paintings.
Looking out my window. There was a bird that came and sat on the
wire as I was painting and I had to quickly include him too.

Hindi Zahra, 'Beautiful Tango' here
(I do like my tangoes and my waltzes I do...I tell you, anything with a twist...)

And are You making sure you are having a great day?

Leaf at the window-

Leaf at the window-
acrylic on gessoed board- 5x7 inches

There is more orange in that yellow. Can't seem to match the photo to the painting today.
But I loved working on it. Loved all the emotional stuff it quietly alludes to...
In the end, there is always a 'twist' somewhere, somehow...
