Bun



I remember thinking, if I can just get through this (pregnancy), everything else will be a piece of cake in comparison.

Flash forward 3 years. After serving a bowl of soup, I turn to get the peanut butter sandwich. 15 seconds, tops. I turn back to find a bewildered little boy with tiny pasta stars in his hair, down his sweater, over his jeans, and broth soaking in puddles around his socks. It is in my Christmas cactus, on the floor, the chair, the table and the cat. The dog is happily slurping it up. I swear there was only about half a cup of soup in that bowl.

"What happened!?"
"It wasn't me. My soup jumped out of the bowl in the air."

Mental image of the soup, apparently possessed by a demonic spirit, raising from the bowl and expanding to cover everything within 5 feet.

I love being a mom. I love being a mom. I love being a mom......

Little Snake



We have a problem with a colony of moles destroying our lawn, probably due to the fact that we had suicidal snakes. They used to keep the mole and chipmunk population under control but every time my husband would cut the grass we'd lose one. They would pop up to see what was making all the noise and ZING, off with his head.

Someday an archaeologist will come to the conclusion that Northern Ohio had a colony of snake-sacrificing mole-worshipers.

Mommy



SOLD

Holding hands with my little boy still makes my day.

I painted this with the image of a young, frightened mother in mind. She has taken her child and is fleeing an abusive relationship. They are standing alone in the cold at a bus stop with nothing but the clothes on their backs.

Y


SOLD

This was loosely intended to look like a ballerina, but I think it looks like the letter "Y". The colors are a little washed out in the photo, the background is a rich chocolate with a shell pink highlight.
