Thank you for visiting the Work-in-Progress ONLINE GALLERY (IN THE AGE OF CORONA).
During these unusual times, with the intention to get my work where eye will see it, I've created a temporary online gallery space for anyone who might be interested in seeing what's new.
Email any questions to: lark.gomez@icloud.com
"Do You Remember?" 22x24" oil and collage on birch 1/2" plywood.
Work-in-progress update. The Day of the Dead holiday, (Dia de Los Muertos) always coincides with the migration of the beautiful Monarch butterflies. Millions of butterflies fly south 2,500 miles to Mexico to hibernate for the winter, arriving Nov 1st, at the time of the DOD celebrations every year.
It is believed by many that the butterflies are holding the spirits of lost loved ones returning for this special day. This painting represents my grandmother Julia.
Okay, so I still need to rework the neck area, detail the ear rings, flowers and DOD makeup.

1/22/23 Here’s the first update for “La Leyenda Del Beso” (The Legend of the Kiss), 48” x 60” oil and gold leaf on birch wood. This painting is an attempt to remake Klimt’s “The Kiss.” I hope to do it justice.

10/28/22: Here’s todays update of the new painting, “Woman, Life, Freedom” (36x48” oil on birch panel), of protester, Nasibe Shamsaei, cutting off her hair in response to the “Morality Police” killing of yet another woman, (Mahsa Amini in this case), for wearing her hijab too loosely. These people have been suffering under this horrible government now for 40 yrs. These brave young women deserve the worlds attention and support. This must change.
Okay, I’ve been working on her face and neck and plan to work on arms/hair/scissors and sign of Mahsa pinned to her shirt in the next few days. It’s getting there. There’s no collage on this piece, this time. For some reason I just want to paint, and I’m feeling an urgency here with this one. I hope you appreciate the effort. I hope you have a great day!
“Woman, Life, Freedom!!” Support these girls!

Woman, Life, Freedom
”All of those ancestors, all of that tenderness given to child after child, the last being this one ~ the baby she holds in her arms.”
With all the turbulence we were going through I needed to paint something comforting, soothing to my nerves. To me this woman is a guardian angel, a lost loved one looking out for this child in a hostile world. And the little girl is all of us.
