Packs of Pups
My friend who does my hair has a lot friends who are dog moms. She loves my dog portraits so it's an easy way to repay her kindness for doing my hair. Here is my latest pooch portrait.

Up Up and Away
We recently moved into the home of our dreams in Santa Ynez. Our bedroom wall is a blank wall so I created this painting to grace the spot over our bed. It will blend in perfectly with our surroundings.
Noah's Heart Job
Meet Noah Guinto, PA with Cottage hospital Cardiology and Thoracic Surgery Santa Barbara. He attended during my husband's open heart surgery last month and was a comforting and familiar presence in the ICU while my husband was recovering. During that time, we got to know him and like so many of Barry's caregivers, he was a Godsend! As a way of thanks, I presented him with this rendering I did during the quiet moments at my husband's bedside. "I dont have any pictures on my desk yet," he exclaimed, "so this will be my first one!" Noah was one of many who cared for my husband. He had 2 heart valves repaired. The staff at Cottage Hospital saved my husband's life.
The Light of All Men
It is my hope and prayer that this tender yet science-fictiony drawing conveys to you the scripture verse in the lower left corner. "In Him was life, and the life was the light of all men. And the light shines in the darkness but the darkness comprehended it not." John 1; 4 Each one of us contains that light and science confirms it. It's known as the zinc spark phenomenon. When a sperms and egg successfully unite, the egg releases billions of zinc ions creating a flash of light under the microscope.
Orchids: If You Can't Grow Them, DRAW THEM!
I did have some live orchids once. They were the same color. I kept them alive for many years until their thick white roots outgrew the small clay pot they were in. I tried repotting them but they shriveled up n died. The good thing about a drawing is, you cant kill it....unless that is, the canvas burns or the digital rendering gets deleted. No worries though. I have immortalized these beauties for you right here at the Gina Sigman Gallery.
The Magic of Christmas
I received the blessing of painting this rendering of my friend Steve Adam's little niece, Emery. It was so much fun! Merry Christmas everyone. .
Woman in Prayer
These days, there isn't enough praying going on. People are too busy on social media or just too tired to talk to God. I have no idea who this lovely young woman is but from the expression on her face, I assumed she was deep in prayer. Blessings to all who view this painting. May it bring you peace and draw you nearer to God
