she dressed her children in clothes made of night, painting by Amanda BlakeI love everything this woman does. Her awkward little personalities, the blockiness of it, the backgrounds, alternating between flat and patterned. Look at the little hatches in the yellow tree. I just love it. Reminds me of Aboriginal dream paintings. Oh, well, maybe that's another reason why I love it. Those paintings have enchanted me since I was in college.
I love the starlight here. I should, I do starlight like that often. Well, sorta. Doesn't matter. Still makes me swoon.
I love also the way she talks of being a mother and a painter. It just resonates.
