"Summer Lullaby"
Original oil painting, 14"x11"
©2009 Diana Moses Botkin
Although I enjoy painting a variety of scenes in God's creation, I must say that mothers and babies are just about my most favorite subjects. This is a piece I've recently framed. Reproductions are available at my LifeImages gallery. Look for the savings code at the top of the page!
The original, along with two more of my figurative works, have been accepted to the Wallowa Valley Festival of the Arts. The show and quick draw will be held May 31 - June 2 in Joseph, Oregon.
I'm looking forward to this event, as I've heard good things about it. I'll be at the Opening and will also do a demo on Saturday. I'll also enjoy participating in the quick draw. That is always an exciting challenge to make a painting in the allotted time!
Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and sometimes finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.
