in every good marriage sometimes

it helps to be a little deaf.

at the beginning of the motherhood project in 2022, i thought maybe i’d make portraits of mothers who were mothering the way i imagined i’d like to mother … if i ever got to be a mother.

ruth was a woman who didn’t spend time worrying. she spent her time doing: learning, lawyering, judging, mothering, wifing, teaching … she didn’t want to be a teacher. she wanted to be a lawyer. the doors to the law path were all shut. so she followed another path … the long way around path … it took her to the supreme court, but not until she was in her 60s.

so … keep going. there’s a lot of good path left, perhaps, if you go see where it leads.

the 8” x 10” painting is 100% archival: gold and india inks on 100% cotton 140lb. watercolor paper, mounted on a cradled wood panel, sealed with wax medium for water resistance and easy cleaning. it can hang as is, or you can purchase a floater frame to amp up the formality.

all purchased artwork will hang at city o’ city in denver through the end of august, 2024. it will be delivered to new forever homes in the month of september.

for SHIPPING: SMALL PAINTINGS OR LOCAL PICK UP are options @ check out.
