Shopping Madness

I didn't realize I had stopped posting these paintings for the past six months! So sorry! Life got a bit crazy, and we had a new baby girl.

These are a drawing and a painting of the same scene--a mother trying to buy Christmas gifts with screaming children and crying baby, fighting against other shoppers--just picture Black Friday. In the painting I was able to add in the other shoppers fighting over a pony.

Many thanks to Jerusha and her family for modeling for me so willingly. Some didn't even have to act, they were just naturally fussy! Thanks also to Meg and Laura for acting like bitter rivals when they are the best of friends!
