This is a very special series of paintings that were started in the mid 1960's of children praying.  My mother was dying and I needed to find some manner in which to deal with the loss.  While searching through my files, I found photographs that I had  taken many years before that time.  In the files were photographs of children.  I knew how much joy they had brought when I shot the photos and decided to paint each image.  I also knew that my own mother had been raised in orphanages and foster homes as a child.  She was very protected of all children and loved each child for their honesty, beauty and the hope that they represent to society. The collection grew to 21 and took several years to complete.  RESTORED IMAGES, an on-line gallery has taken the series for reproduction in limited edition prints of 500 each image.  Please check out their site: www.restoredtraditions.com  If you would like to purchase any of the images please contact RESTORED IMAGES and they will send the prints to me and I will personalize them, if you like, and sign and number each print.

This is a series of Southwest landscape paintings and are all in the soft pastel medium. They are available at Grimshaw Fine Art in Taos, New Mexico. Diane Grimshaw is the owner and director of this gallery.

These prints are four-color separation prints, all numbered and signed by the artist.
