Alone

Hmmm the blogger is all different and doing strange things. Here is one by itself. I am showing this because these paintings are some of the most tangible evidence of what i do with time... that is my life. My current contribution to the material world. Aside from this i make books for people, cards, and various other items such as boxes and tins covered with antique buttons. Included in this list was a book of my daughter Becca's life. Beginning with her birth and ending thirty years later...with the book as a birthday gift. Mostly photographs.. covering her birth parents' geneology and stepancestors etc., as well as report cards, school work, artwork. These books, of which i have completed several, are very emotionally difficult as they involve lifetimes of memories and complicated family history. I made one for my mother illustrating 365 pages reaching from our ethnic archives through 80 plus years of marriages, divorces, childbirth ad infinitum. Levi and Daniels' lifebooks were done in the last few years as well.
