The third of three art pieces displayed here on Flickr, this was painted in oils with rich colors and heavy strokes. Totally abstract, an adult finger painting from the soul, this painting sits on my father's mantle piece in his livingroom. It's a gorgeous piece, something I've appreciated every time I get the chance to see it! *please excuse the flashed areas: I wasn't really planning to use these images so I used a flash for this quick picture: in the future, I'll take a proper picture of each of my mom's paintings. This image was taken during my trip to San Francisco during September 12-15, 2011.

The second of three art pieces displayed here on Flickr, this oil painting has always intrigued me. Sitting in my father's livingroom, I have spent a lot of time pondering this image. Is the building on the top of the mountain a cabin, a lodge, or a house? Where is it in the world? Did my mom paint it from a memory or somthing in her dreams? I truly love the wonderful, chilly quality of this painting. Looks like something described from a Jack London book! *please excuse the flashed areas: I wasn't really planning to use these images so I used a flash for this quick picture: in the future, I'll take a proper picture of each of my mom's paintings.

The first of three art pieces displayed here on Flickr, this one was painted on cardboard! My mom painted this when I was very small, or maybe before I was born. It resides in my father's livingroom, and I've always loved it. A pair of cyclops, one holding a watermelon, crazy colors, modified Mondrian blocking...what's not to love?! *please excuse the flashed areas: I wasn't really planning to use these images so I used a flash for this quick picture: in the future, I'll take a proper picture of each of my mom's paintings.
