Portrait of a Cat, Again
Another portrait of Maia Louise, this time in nearly three-quarter profile and again, much larger than life. Oddly, I'm seldom asked to do drawings of cats. I have no idea why this is. Maybe because people love their dogs more. Who knows?
Portrait of Maia Louise, graphite on paper, 2011 (detail)
Artist, writer, hippie girl, earth mother, nearly nonstop talker and generally exhausted insomniac. If I'm not painting or drawing, I'm writing, often well into the wee hours of the morning.
I can very well do without God both in my life and in my painting, but I cannot, suffering as I am, do without something which is greater than I am, which is my life, the power to create. Vincent Van Gogh
