MIRIAM JONES
An interpretation on day to day life,family,events etc
VIEW REPRESENTATIONAL AS SLIDES

Remembrance
a very ′warm′ painting, quiet, reflective,deep thoughts, deep faith,a union of focus, although still singular,each one being their own individual.
Remembering friends now gone,a grateful moment for a blessing recieved,a prayer offered for someone in need- all these things caught in a gentle moment of time

Somebody′s Darling
 Saw this dear guy in Melbourne a couple of years ago, couldn′t resist. Wasn′t till I started painting him that I realised what a treasure he is.He has all his worldly goods with him, his bag is packed to the gills,a foldup umbrella jammed in that, his cushion, a red shirt, a light blue shirt, 2 coats, and, a gold watch!
I chose to give him a background that hopefully portrays his life, dark gloom in one corner, but light is appearing,even though he isn′t aware of it yet.All he has to do is to look up to see it.

Day out with Dad

while on a train in Brisbane  looked up and spotted this family sitting opposite us. Had to get a snap to do a painting from fumbled though the oversized handbag to get the camera  and try to be discreet  and not one of them looked up far too engrossed 

If you purchase this and wonder what the grafitti scratched into the window′s is its my husband and 2 childrens initials much nicer than what really was there

Golden Grace
this one,the photo really dosen′t do it justice, in my opinion....have used glazes etc and she has a lovelly goldy glow about her, and wee details like a gold rub on her lips isn′t showing up,(it IS very subtle though to be fair)
Beading is raised, and looks like she should be maybe taking it to the Antique Roadshow for a valuation........ :)

Steadfast
looking to a new day, family steadfast and strong....will stand the test of time, and the principles and ethics, will endure. We all like to hold that belief, that what we teach and pass down to our children will sustain them for the rest of their lives. I know that is the hope I have for my own children, that the mistakes will wash away, and the real grit will endure, so they can face the world strong and steadfast.

Wonderful goal,even better to achieve it :)
