I began making these tiny paintings for my alter. My very first alter for a personal project, Project Walk. I wanted an image of little me beginning to walk so I painted my dad Allan holding my one hand, and my mom Lois holding my other.
I then painted the scene from the song Daddy's Little Girl by the Mills Brothers
đ you are the end of the rainbow
The pot of goldđĽ
youâre daddyâs little girl to love and holdđ¨âđ§
A precious gemstone is what you aređ
youâre mommies bright and shining starđ
youâre the spirit of Christmasđ
The star on the treeâď¸ youâre the Easter bunnyđ to mommy and međ¨âđŠâđ§
youâre sugarđŚ
youâre spiceđ§
youâre everything niceđ your daddyâs little girlđ§ââď¸
Angel saints Allan and Lois, my guardian dears, to whom Devine love entrusts me here. Ever this day, be at my side, to aid and guard, to strengthen and guide.
Next came my Secular Saint Freda Kahlo
And Our Lady in the expressions of Stella Maris and Yemaya
I thought these would be the perfect size to work on while demonstrating at the Summerside Arts Festival and I did a few over a few days for practice.
Marie, one of my caregivers and I.
