Back Home for Good in Marshall

What an amazing four years I just had.
Both my dear Mom and Dad did pass away.
I was able to keep them at home and care for them till the end.
I learned so very much about love, patience, and the future.
Trying to remember now, who I am?
What is my mission, and how to accomplish it?
A new chapter of myself.....make it good.
Lots of details ahead, lots of lists, lots of work.
Calm down, take it easy, you are OK.
My warehouse is beautiful.

Far Away but still Drawing

Hello to anyone and everyone.  My concentration is still on Women's Portraits.
I am now taking a ceramics workshop where I'm painting portraits onto small
vases..Faces on Vases...  the background is colorful textile pattens, and I must
say that they are coming out very very fabulously.. I am pleased with my results.
     Also have continued the couples drawings which are rather comical, but
effective.  And from them I am developing some stories..
     It's been a while and I even forgot and neglected that I had set up this blog.
Happy to find it again.  Busy caregiving my very elderly parents for the last
three years and still counting.   But I must tell you that I am having amazing,
fun and other-worldly dreams of big cities and warehouses with costumes and
parties..It's a delight every night.....  Thank You. lois simbach

pen & ink sketches of couples

Began again my pen & ink drawings of couples interacting with eachother..
Kind of romance with friendship and sexuality feelings....somehow the hands
always come out larger than life ??  Perhaps it's my style logo trademark??
anyway as always they are unique to me!  I've already begun a line of
greeting cards with them, that I wish to market.  anyone out there have an
in with Hallmark or another giant publishing house?
later, lois simbach
