Shoots...time does not simply fly, it soars!! Time since my last posted blog, time since my darlin daughter has grown up and graduated and I am filled with disbelief that she has been in my life for 18 years already. Her first five years of schooling (from kinder to 5th grade) were spent immersed in Spanish in the little fishing village on the Island of Taboga in Panama, which was at various times funny, fascinating, invaluable and embarrassing (yes, embarrassing, as we both fumbled our way learning Spanish!) Looking back, it was a magical time in both of our lives, a time of innocence and peace. Compare that to the hustle and bustle here in America of simply trying to earn a living and survive, I can only reminisce with fondness and gratitude that we have been able to live in such special places.
To celebrate this place in time in both of our lives, I have selected of few images of oil paintings of Natalia (o my lovely punkin!) that I have made over the years, as both of us grow and change. Hopefully as an artist I have also matured, while still staying loose and playful and true to my own rule of " coloring OUT of the lines!!"
Cheers! to life and to loved ones...
Ps: hmmm....looking at these paintings, one may wonder...does she really sleep that much? Well maybe yes and no...it's just that she does have this wonderful "languid" persona...and we do love our hammocks!
aloha,
Lynn

You certainly know how to paint an inviting lifestyle. I like that word languid. My mom just called me lazy when I spent the afternoon in a hammock.
Do you have any extra hammocks in your yard?
Oooh I am envious of you Lynn. To have lived all those places and now to be in Hawaii!!! Lucky you. I'll live vicariously through you. I love the paintings of your daughter sleeping. How sweet. You need to post more often though. You are an inspiration!
PS--love your website too!
