Oh, ma haya!!


I call this "Oh, ma haya!!". It is done from a photo I took on Third Street in Memphis, Tn. When I asked the young girl if I could take her photo, She grabbed her head and that's what she shouted.  I'm very proud of this and think it's one of the best things I've done.

Here's the original photo. Notice I added the awning and c
ooler, but it's still true to the original, I think only better. That's the great thing about doing something original, I can choose to make it what ever my imagination tells me.

Fisher Woman

This is my maternal grandmother, Eva Gertrude "Wowo" Thompson. Yes, we call our grandmother Wowo! Blame my brother. The photo I painted this from was probably when she was in her mid 80's. She's 97 now and as feisty as can be. She has the best mind. Almost a photographic memory. This is the perfect pose for her, She liked(s) nothing more than to be fishing. She cant get around so well, so she hasn't been in a while. I need to take her.
