My mother died on February 4, 2010. I usually do not paint under such stress. I have been painting but not finishing anything. I am pleased with my work. There is a whole in my heart, but I think painting with my mother watching over my shoulder will lead to productivity.
My father says he talks to her. I do too. I have a tendency to talk to myself a lot when I paint. I can only imagine the reaction to others I am painting with when my mother is added to the conversation.
I love you Mommy. I know where you are, this will be a good year
About Me
- Jane Huggins
- I am a watercolor artist. My paintings are bold, and full of color. Most of my work takes time. The world around me is my inspiration. A camera is in my hand whereever I go. I like a painting to be strong enough in composition to be appealing from across the room, but when viewed up close I my audience should enjoy the details. Watercolor has so many attitudes and possibilities, I am always exploring. Most people comment on how unforgiving watercolor is. If good paper is used it is very forgiving. Being and educator I love to teach classes. I first instruct students on how to control brushes, the flow of paint and of course the water. I teach beginning to advanced students. Many opt to pay a little more to use my supplies solely. This is an excellent way to learn that success depends on the foundation of good materials. This is very cost efficient for beginners also. I always say there is an artist in everyone.
I'm very very sorry for your loss. Words are insufficient...
