I’ve used the image of a snail shell with a baby head and baby feet sticking out while thinking about my kids growing too fast, and wanting them to slow down so I can appreciate them before they change, yet again. In this piece, I have applied the same concept to my time. I mean my time, the snatched minutes without kids wanting to eat… again, without chores and all the things on my mile long to-do list. The red ribbon represents passions, the burning desire in my gut to create. I wish I could push pause, have everyone freeze for bit, while I disappear into my studio to paint. Sigh. There are so many things I want to do, and so little time to pack it all in.
This piece is for a miniature show in Canada. It cost me one hundred thirty-four dollars and forty cents to ship it to Alberta.

I love that you explain to us what your art means. It is always so personal. I also want her outfit. To find a skirt that full would be amazing
So gorgeous! I love it.
Stunning! I hope you're still hanging on to my fav. painting. I've been saving up.
I am currently painting a series of paintings about time. I also just feel like there is never enough, I am in a constant race ALWAYS against time. Too bad we can't pause it and catch up. Love the painting, she is very elegant.
That last comment was from me :-)
I love it! I want to hang it in my office. :) It is the exact place I am in my life. Thanks for making it beautiful.
