My latest Finger Painting




It's very satisfying and rewarding to know that it is possible to paint with one's little finger and very little art supplies.
I only used a few drops of China Ink and my little pinkie and its nail, not even water, to paint this monochromatic painting.
Sooooooooo much fun!
Fell in love with the fisherman in the front, pushing through the water to get his boat, myself!

This 36x24 painting -my latest- in oil, I call "Homestead" because of everything it represents.
The clolors red reprents my love and dedication.
The red shapes, lower right shows the structure of my home.
The flower in the red rectangle on the upper right is a symbol of life and happiness.
The fruit/food and drinks in the shape on the upper left represents my breakfast, lunch and dinner tables, healthy food and drinks.
The structure down on the lower left says all about my raising an educated daughter as an independent individual and setting her out to sail in search of her own life. 
The deal in the middle with roots and leaves shows my own roots and knowledge, every thing I leaned and taught, that helped me raise a family the way I knew how to.
