Right Under Your nose~

Sometimes I am amazed at how people take things for granted.  Having a son who cannot speak, who I know suffers in silence at times brakes my heart everyday. People need to count their blessing because often they are right under their noses!

This painting is 11x14 painted on stretched canvas.

I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living. Les Miserables

Art and Quote of the day....

Do I love you because you're beautiful,
Or are you beautiful because I love you?
~Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Cinderella

Sustainably Susan~New painting

This is my newest painting.  A younger version of my mother "Susan" seems to be a reoccurring character in my work.  I suppose she is sort of a muse for now.  This painting has a Wes Anderson kind of feel to it. I found this photo on pinterest!    It's  11x14 painted on a cradled birchwood panel. The sides are painted to match so no frame is needed.  For sale here :www.catherinenolin.org  and

Thanks for looking.
