The Baffled Queen~ New painting

Completed on 11-30.  The Baffled Queen as opposed to the Baffled King.  I have loved that song ever since I heard it for the first time in the 90's performed  by Rufus Wainwright.  It had a calming affect on Sam and become our anthem of sorts over the years.  Sad that Leonard Cohen has left us.  

Anyway, I have painted many queens over the years but this one has the look and qualities  I've been striving for.  The photo doesn't capture all the detail so I've included a close up.  This piece is 16x12 created  on  cradled basswood  with painted sides. ALSO, I am about to finish the dove I started as well so stay tuned! 

The Moon Will See You Now~New painting

Completed on 11-19.  I used the backdrop from " Scenes from the Life of the Virgin" panel located Siena Italy.  I enjoy blending objects and scenes to create my own world.  This painting is 16x12 created on a cradled wood panel with painted sides. I never got to see the Super Moon last week it was hiding behind clouds I guess.   I  wish you all a wonderful peaceful Thanksgiving.
