ink

Tia has been getting inked!
When she does a good job in ballet class, she gets a sparkly tattoo to show off at home. Here is her ink gallery.









Tia is getting to be such a big and independent young woman.
She can put her yellow sandals on all by herself!

100 days!

We are pleased to annouce that his approval rating is

LA art scene

I've been checking out this new, up and coming LA artist named Tia Magnolia. She works mostly in abstract expressionism, but she is exploring some representational stuff too. Here are some of her latest pieces...
















auntie

Auntie Mariam came to visit and we had such a GREAT time!!
We miss her so much already!

























In the empire of the senses
You're the queen of all you survey
All the cities all the nations
Everything that falls your way
There is a deeper wave than this
That you don't understand
There is a deeper wave than this
Tugging at your hand
Every ripple on the ocean
Every leaf on every tree
Every sand dune in the desert
Every power we never see
There is a deeper wave than this
Swelling in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me, girl
Feel it rising in the cities
Feel it sweeping over land
Over borders, over frontiers
Nothing will its power withstand
There is no deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is no deeper wave than this
Listen to me girl
All the bloodshed, all the anger
All the weapons, all the greed
All the armies, all the missiles
All the symbols of our fear
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the world
There is a deeper wave than this
Listen to me, girl
At the still point of destruction
At the centre of the fury
All the angels, all the devils
All around us can't you see
There is a deeper wave than this
Rising in the land
There is a deeper wave than this
Nothing will withstand
I say love is the seventh wave

Love is the Seventh Wave by Sting

For Auntie & Tia, Love Mommy
