Taken in natural light Two good sports and lifetime performers and companions – My father and mother. This image was inspired by American Gothic – a painting by Grant Wood from 1930. Portraying a pitchfork-holding farmer and a younger woman (imagined to be his wife or daughter) in front of a house of Carpenter Gothic style, it is one of the most familiar images in 20th century American art. Wood wanted to depict the traditional roles of men and women as the man is holding a pitchfork symbolizing hand labor. Wood referenced late 19th century photography and posed his sitters in a manner reminiscent of early American portraiture.
This is four photos that I chose to layer to get a similar effect as “nature under water” and “the nature of things” although I used live nature and threw it on printed images for the others. The amazing gifts of the earth that we live with and we survive because of…......we are all connected. A song called Dancing / by Elisa Toffoli

His name is Hudson, but we call him Buddy. We have this ancient radio that has cool details and I had an idea to use it as a backdrop for a portrait photo, but when I asked him to pose for me, all I got was goofy grins and serious self-consciousness until I had the bright idea to give him the remote release and let him do it himself. Once he got going, there was no stopping him! As far as he was concerned, I wasn’t even there. The delight on his face has got nothing to do with quality time with Mom, and everything to do with ‘male-remote-control-delight-response’..... Canon 400D, natural light.

My daughter recently left on a trip I did not want her to take, but being 18 I could not stop her. Before she left we had bought a Norah Jones CD and on the back was a sort of dark moody portrait that my daughter loved and she asked me to work on one of her while she was gone. This really flattered me as she hates to have her picture taken and I really wanted to please her and give her something to hang on her dorm wall this Fall. As I was painting this in Photoshop I began to realize the face was as much my own as it was hers. I started thinking about what I was like at 18 and I had taken off to the outta Banks of NC and lived there a year , not knowing a soul there. I thought about how smart and capable my daughter is and as I painted I began to trust her more and worry less. I somehow just knew that she would be okay and would make it home without mishap. / When she came home tonight , the first thing she said was “God, I missed you so much, you don’t even know” and then she said “You know , we are so much alike you and I”.. / and I felt she and I had both grown and …indeed became more of one another while accepting that she is very much her own person. / She loves the portrait! and I love that she loves it! / I am blessed.. / (like most art and life, I am not sure I am finished with this)

Look into the eyes of this clown. Do you see even a little part of your own soul? If the answer is YES, Betty has achieved her goal. There are several ways to express happiness, pain or other emotions in art. An artist I know said “Every artist paints or draws at least one clown in their career”. Why do you as the viewer suppose this is true? Personally, I think it is. Why? – because it is a way to express the pain or joy we all feel in any given time in our lives. / As many of the portraits of clowns in times past, an illustration of the personal frustration with the circumstances we all face in our lives reflects in this work. The Orignal painting was sold to an Art Collector from NY.

29”x 34” -acrylic on canvas Green Tara is a Goddess – female Buddha – who helps in overcoming fear and anxieties. Tara is traditionally shown holding a lotus flower. I originally intended to paint a lotus too, but the child emerged instead..such is the way of the creative process. My depiction of Tara is of a compassionate, mothering Buddha who is protecting the child and keeping fears away. Green Tara was featured in the Group: Incredible India
