An American often associated with French artists.
A single woman famous for depicting maternal love.

Today is a day of mingled grief and joy.
When I look at this art
my grief is not for what I lost
but for those who haven’t known
the touch of a loving mother,
the care of being bathed,
the warmth of being read a story,
the intimacy of touching mama’s face,
the security of being firmly held.

Happy Mother’s Day

The Son of Man must be lifted up
as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
so that everyone who believes
may have eternal life in Him.
John 3: 14-15

I found this print in the book Hidden Treasures Revealed.

Clausen is a Naturalist painter I discovered last year.
He has quickly become a favorite artist.

My friend, Ann Yoder.

Our kids were in play group together.

Whenever we meet randomly in town,
it is talk, talk, talk…

Please don’t skip this link, she does excellent work.

The stories behind the paintings are like
the “Vivid” setting on a camera.

Your day *will* be better because of her art.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Isn’t this a fun piece for the first of May?
Four sisters dancing while their sister Anne beats the time.

I see family dynamics…and have fun assigning personalities.
The two on the left intent on their sister’s cues.
Look at the form of the girl with her back to us.
The two on the right making sure you notice them,
the shortest shyly and the tilted head confidently.

Why the dark background?
