mother's day

A minute ago, I turned 50. A lifetime ago (it seems) I was a Blue Star Mom with sons serving in Iraq. To ease my mind, I threw myself into painting as a form of personal therapy and growth. I'm a member of the Tennessee Art League and Collaborative Artists Network and some of my paintings can be seen here on my blog, there at www.thecann.org, and also on my website: www.moesse.com. There's also a facebook Fanpage under Moesse the Eclectic Artist if you'd like to keep track there.

What the witches brew concocted...

The top painting is on Arches 140 lb. watercolor paper and the paints really did beautifully - especially the walnut one I made which was smooth like butter and very, very rich which is why I used it alone in the very zen-like second painting. Done in the Sumi-e style, it is simply walnut paint on the handcrafted pampas grass paper I made.

Hope you enjoyed todays lesson. = )
