Berceuse is French for Lullaby. I like to imagine that we all have an official lullaby (or two) holding safe space for us while watching over us as we sleep. These ethereal beings live in the liminal spaces between our dreams. Added synchronicity: Someone told me that a berceuse is usually in 6/8 time and these paintings all measure eight by six inches. I wish I could tell you that I did this on purpose. All I know is that when I was looking at the first two that I painted, I asked them to tell me what they were.
 
2024 25 Days of Minis
 
This year is a mashup of my creative tropes. How I made one series combined with materials or moves of another. Some figural and some abstractions.  Always representing the unobserved. 
 
You will find five paintings within each category of creation. 
 
Several healing, genuine stone, watercolor paints were used on top of the noted ground stone paint throughout the paintings:  Purpurite, Rhodonite, Jadeite, Amethyst, Bloodstone, Green Apatite, Serpentine, Piemontite, Amazonite, Sodalite.
