Day 63 and Tiger

Today I decided to paint this tiger . I didnt' do the whole face just mostly the eyes. This was a bit challenging as I did it on a scrap of fabric from my mom's stash of samples that she had .. many of.

I have no objectivity at this point. I'm tired AND hungry .. this always causes me some consternation. So many emotional things going on in my life this past week. Losing my Godmother on Monday, The anniversary of my own mother's death on the 2nd and the anniversary of my mother's birthday yesterday. It's so much and tomorrow I will be attending my Godmother's funeral. So i'm having to really force these portraits the last few days. I think I prefer working on paper. Or at painting on cloth that has less texture. Tomorrow I will be trying to sell some work outside during a Saturday market nearby. Who knows if I will be ready for that and when I will get to posting an animal for that day. I guess I could paint it there... might be fun.

So thanks for the supportive words.. I appreciate them so much. If you would like to own this tiger please email me at iwilldream4ever@aol.com. This tiger is $63. See you tomorrow.

    1. I'm sorry that keeps happening to you .. still think you should highlight your text and hit control C, before you hit Publish just in case. Then if it does disappear you can just comment again and hit control V when your cursor is in the comment box. Just an idea .. The eyes are big arent they?

  3. I haven't been on Facebook much lately but when I read this post, I had to write. I'm so sorry about the loss of your godmother. October will probably always be your hardest month. I feel that way about January- the anniversary of my mom's birthday and death. Whether I'm happy or sad, I always wish my mom was here with me- to celebrate our console and from the beautiful stories you tell, I imagine you feel much the same way.
    Hugs to you, Tammy.
