Puppy solace


10 x 11 inches ink and watercolor on paper
I think silence is a gift. My pug is just there. He looks concerned and he looks right at you. And he waits.
I am tired. Spent two days at each of my sons schools, in conferences about their grades, their futures. Sometimes the mind gets on overload and the only solace comes in the form of a faithful quiet friend. AND the doodles of a pen with a push of pigment in pools of water.

  1. Hi Tilly

    I enjoy the emotional and physical immediacy of your work, and your use of mixed media and playfulness. Your blog popped out at me because my husband is from Millerton. We've lived in Maine since 1976, but my father-in-law is still in Millerton. We were just there for New Year's - it's so beautiful!

    I'm glad that your art is helping you deal with the trauma of losing your friend.


    Best
