Confession

My name is Mary Claire and it’s been weeks since my last post. I thought I’d say hi! I have not been on vacation in case you were wondering, just staying close to home.

I’m finishing up my Undying Heart Series this week. I have painted most of them outside taking advantage of summer in every way. Here are two recent paintings completed.

Listen to Your Heart by Mary Claire 2012 Acrylic on canvas 20 x 16 x 3/4″

Listen to your heart. It knows all things, because it came from the Soul of the World and it will one day return there.
~Paulo Coelho

Unburdened Heart by Mary Claire 2012 Acrylic on canvas 20 x 16 x 3/4″

A heavy burden lifted from my soul,
I heard that love was out of my control.
~Leonard Cohen

Thank God I have an assistant this summer, she is so supportive…

and is very good at watching and disciplining my other child while I work.
