For Love, For Hope, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. For my Mom, for Keith, for my children. For My Uncle Wally and Fran, for my brothers. For my friends. For spring.
Thinking of my Mother. by Mary Stebbins Taitt. My mother loved to throw rose petals up in the air and watch them fall against the blue blue sky. She loved blowing bubbles, she loved singing, and she loved little children. So this is for her.
From Ella Sharp Museum in Jackson, MI. Foreground piece by Ashley Brayley. If anyone knows the names of the other two artists, let me know. (Photography of this art by me).
Peeking into the Future, Primroses by Mary Stebbins Taitt.
Remembering Mother (Flowers for Margaret), By Mary Stebbins Taitt. For my mother Margaret, who recently died.
Sweet Senescence, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. For my Mom. A smudge-brush painting from a photo. I hand painted this over a photo, changing it from the original. It may not look that different and it may not seem like much, but it took me weeks to do. (Click image to view larger, click again to view larger yet.)
Self Portrait in Snow, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. There is a story to go with this picture. My mother died on Tuesday. I'm walking through a blizzard to bring her a rose. This rose is for my mother, because I love her and miss her. I love you, Mom.
Rain Tree, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. This is an art installation at Stone Quarry Art Park in Cazenovia--if anyone knows the artist, let me know, I misplaced the name.
Lost in fog, by Mary Stebbins Taitt.
Erin with Robin's Egg, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. In the 80s, especially the early 80s, I was busy raising children. That's what the 80s meant to me. It was an important job and I loved it.
DISH, a local catering and carry out restaurant, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. Taken tonight after hours during the ice storm, and some of the ice is visible. I like the colors and benches and the small sort of southwestern look.
White Oak leaf underside showing original photo and my smudge painting of it. Photo and art by Mary Stebbins Taitt. If you click once or even twice on the picture, you can see the details of the smudge painting better.

Buna Bee, by Mary Stebbins Taitt.
Wolcott Mill, by Mary Stebbins Taitt. This one is treated with poster edges and super saturated.
