The Story Behind My Orphan Paintings

Below is a video about my "orphan series" of paintings. I appreciate the opportunity to share this with you and what these paintings mean to me personally! 



"Will I?" Watercolor & Casein

In my watercolor painting above, from Swaziland, Africa; the boy silently withdrawn inward wondering about the future of his parents, as he sees other kids parents die from the HIV/AIDS virus. 


"Will I?" Graphite Drawing

"Hiding in My Shadow" Graphite Drawing


"Reaching Out" Graphite Drawing




In the oil painting above the boy rests in complete vulnerability and trust in being confident in his mother's love for him, she delights in her children, as she looks at them she has the countenance of joy.
