La Dentista

I had always wanted to create a piece of a Dentist, that was similar to my painting, 'El Doctór'.  The time came to create 'La Dentista' as I was preparing for my show, 'Skeleton Garden' at Gallery 2014, Hollywood, FL.  My family and I had just moved from Hollywood to Coral Springs, which left me with less time to create paintings for this solo show.  I was very nervous that I wouldn't have the time to create the paintings.  As I began, this painting seemed to just flow out of me, rather quickly and effortlessly.  As I painted, the colors all came together and I was enjoying the process, although still concerned with lack of  time.  As I was nearing  the completion of the painting, that night, my husband began complaining of a tooth ache. It was the next day, that I planned on completing 'La Dentista' with details left to paint on the tooth extraction, that my husband visited the real Dentist and had to have an emergency tooth extraction!!  As I painted the very last details, at the very same moment I was painting, my husband was in the hot seat at the dental office, getting his tooth extracted!!  I almost felt guilty for what happened; like I had something to do with it!  It was so remarkable, that I decided to paint a clock in the painting with the time that this synchronicity occurred!

 What I take from the bizarre occurrence, was it was the Universe's way of telling me, it's okay!  Everything is happening exactly when it's supposed to!  Do not worry!!  You'll have enough time!

Every year, since 2013, I hand carve a unique stamp to represent that year of art.  I use this stamp on all original paintings, limited edition prints, and all print packages.
