Eatting last week's words

As soon as you say something, everything changes to prove you wrong.
I said I was done with the falling ladies....
Done...

i haven't felt like painting them in over a year...
then people commented nice things about them...

and i thought, "well i could do them with just one color like I have been doing with my latest mandalas"

Now, I have soooo many ideas for painting falling ladies...

I finished two this week already...
here's the first...
 



before the 2nd here are a couple photos of my week...
just because....





and a bit more surreal than usual...



Falling with a pig
don't we all do this sometimes?
 wearing pink ribbons?


well, happy paint party friday and hello to everyone at Haiku my heart... both wonderful places to stop by on a friday! see you!

    These are both GORGEOUS! I had to put that in all caps because truly.... Love the ladies and the night backgrounds - WOW - something about Maurice Sendack and In the Night Kitchen is reverberating through my mind. Beautiful work. And I love your pup and kitty too!

    "Falling Ladies" seems to be your trademark. I'd hate for you to stop completely. Glad you posted the latest two. They are so ethereal and lovely.

    I have to say that I have never seen your falling ladies. I think I arrived after you switched gears. Stunning - really!!! I think its good to try new things and to try new avenues. I think then, when we return to the things we love - they are that much better as we bring back with us our new learnings from our last adventure. Beautiful. I especially love the idea of falling with a pig and wearing pink ribbons!

    I think your falling ladies have been developing and blossoming even though you haven't painted them for a long time; the new ones are just awesome! Beautifully drawn, mysterious and intriguing and I love the way you paint night sky!

    These new falling ladies are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!
    I love their grace and the story they tell.
    What kind of doggy do you have? Reminds me of my min-pin. :)

    hey! i sent you an email but i wanted to follow up just in case it ended in your spam folder.

    also, hey - it's been awhile since i've blogged around so i haven't seen anyone's art in a bit - this is the first time for me to see yours in months and WOWZERS - so much growth.

    i've always admired your work, but it's at a whole new level now. really beautiful.

    OH! Andrea! This is the best stuff ever!!!
    I couldn't believe the first one with the red ribbons...reminding me of a fairy tale, or maybe some short story I wrote in high school...I smiled and cheered YES!!!
    Then I was scrambling past the cute kitty sitting on those cool stairs, the black and blue sky and the skinny dog, just so I could see the next Falling Lady! Funny Haiku too! Now I have to go back and re-look at your post, now that I know how it turns out, I can slow down. ♥♥

    Okay, it was all as great as I thought...I fell FOR a pig, never WITH a pig...that about sums me up.
    You are amazing!

    Andrea!!!! These are amazing! AMAZING! I'm going to think of falling with pink pigs all day! And the sky with the ribbons... it so captures so many emotions... I love these all the more, because you let yourself say you were letting them go... and look what came in the space of your allowing for something new to well up from you... so fortunate are we to get to visit here...
