Underwater Heart Garden

I did this painting in July, 2008, in honor of my daughter, Jocelyn Kirsch, and her boyfriend, Evan Guggenheim. What an amazing couple. :) The "final" painting is the one on top, the one you see below is an early version.

Splender is the Grass

Do you see the grass? From my lawn, where I painted...

Carnival of Hearts

This painting, which hangs in my husband Richard Kirsch's office in Washington, D.C., honors the July 2008 launch of Health Care for America Now, a national campaign for comprehensive and affordable health insurance. MAY OBAMA WIN, and MAY WE FINALLY WIN NATIONAL HEALTH INSURANCE, hip hip

HURRAH!!!!!

Birthday Birch

This is my first commissioned painting. :) I painted it in honor of my niece, Sarah J. Donohue, on the occasion of her 30th birthday. She asked for a painting last Christmas, when she was visiting my house, and I set about painting something that seemed in the spirit of SARE!!!!!!

Love you SARE!!!! And many happy returns!

Underwater Morning, or Tomato Sun

This is a painting for my sister HOLLY, who loves to spin upside down in the ocean, and in whatever swimming pool she can find :) !!!! Holly said recently that she is "a twelve-year old boy caught inside the body of a forty-ish woman." To that spirit, I say, here here, and hee hee.

Painting My Heart in Credit Cards

All three of my wonderful children have told me that they love this painting. Maybe I need to do a couple more :) so that each one will know that they have my HEART!!!!

Raking up a red fury
