I also love your bag ladies series - am always drawn to brown paper. I saw a painting recently that was wrapped in brown paper and it was a bit ripped open so you could see the painting underneath. As I got closer I realized that the brown paper was actually part of the piece. The brown paper was the painting.
Your bag ladies are a wonderful series! There's something really beautiful about the contrast between the rough, humble bag and the elegant style and colors of your drawings that is captivating. This one is very pretty... she looks as if she's about to become one of the roses!
i would be climbing the walls too, if it weren't for maggie. this winter has been a real trial for me and i have been very depressed.what a lovely face she has.(maggie and your lady tee hee).
Beautiful! and I love how the wrinkles in the bag (which are in perfect form and places in the piece) along with the cast shadow you rendered give it a 3Dness
This is beautiful. You know you're talented when you can draw on anything, I.E. a paper bag and create something so special and beautiful. You are an inspiration my friend. This is wonderful and fun.
What a lovely contrast, of pretty roses and her not so rosy expression. Pretty nonetheless. Again, we were on a similar wavelength this week with IF :)
I think most of us can relate to that sentiment. If only I looked as beautiful as those posies when I was climbing the walls. It's just really not a pretty sight when it happens, heehee!
I am with this bag lady. I could definitely climb the walls what with this cold, windy day keeping me inside, again. Beautiful bag lady.
ReplyDeletedamn. i love this idea. i never thought about all the beautiful climbing roses.
ReplyDeletei really like the woman you created standing there. i think she likes the smell of those roses...
I love when you draw on paper bags.
ReplyDeleteand the words are great@@@
Don't we all climb the walls sometime?
amen, sister.
ReplyDeleteamen, friend.
and yet, it's probably better to climb than to shrivel... (sometimes i don't know what to make of how my mind works...)
her facial expression says it all. i know the feeling you've captured so well.
:)
great expression of her mood. been there a lot all reved up and no where to go. michael dailey
ReplyDeleteI like the simplicity of this--yet it also has richness.

Laura you are so beautiful to say that to me. That is true, I have to think and believe in all this powerful energy.
ReplyDeletePlease give my sincerest sympathies to your dear friend. Now losing her granddaughter would have to be the living end.
I hate when children or even people younger than me have this god damn disease.
xoxo
Love Renee
Again,a masterful piece...in word, emotion, and deftness of hand! Powerful. You take my artistic breath away!
