'Dark Desert' By Mollie Kellogg, a true artist and beautiful friend of mine. Check out more of her delicious, inspired work on her website.

Years ago, we traded-she created a huge, awesome oil painting of me nursing Sam as a young mama. It stunned me when she brought it over and uncovered it. To see myself, so gloriously rendered, still awes me.

I sculpted a portrait of her and her kids. Unfortunately, I don't seem to have a picture of the finished work, and this one of the completed greenware is kinda blurry, but you get the general idea of the piece.
