city swimmers

Discovering all sorts of beauty here in Beijing, it's truly a magnificent place with incredible people, architecture, art, food & so much more...It's this fantastic blend of the ancient with the futuristic modern that makes one swoon! More to come ...

Glimmering Waters

I've been in a packing frenzy mostly, but in my free time I've been painting...I fell in love with the exhibit on Babylonian art at the Met last winter, in particular with the ancient pottery, so I put that inspiration into this pattern of black fish with phosphorescent eyes. I once went to Eilat in Israel for vacation, & I saw such fish floating about in the dark waters; truly a stunning sight!

Bound For The Orient

I'm bound for more traveling very soon, this time to the far far east...I can hardly wait! I'll be setting up studio abroad & continuing my painting/exhibiting/shipping internationally as usual.

How fabulous is this photo by my very talented cousin Mehdi Van Den Bos? Words cannot express how much I love about his work, he captures both people & nature so magically...On another note a million thanks to Deb at Bon Bon Oiseau for her beautiful post about my painting. The is feeling is incredibly mutual as I adore her gorgeous jewelery designs!!

You never forget your mama

Today would have been my mama's birthday (pictured here on her honeymoon)...Remembering her creativity, her humor, her goodness, her faith, her readiness for adventure & her ability to make magic out of whatever she touched...Missing her so much, but feeling her spiritually ever-present. Happy birthday mama!

Tending The Blooms

A portrait of a dear lady friend of mine tending to the fruits of her own labor. The water that is sprinkling out of her watering can is a shimmery silver. The colour combination of blue, red & gold is one of my favorites...
p.s. I still have prints available! Let me know by e-mail if you'd like one:
