12″x18″ pastel on sanded paper
This painting was from a photo, painted in my daughters’ dance studio not my art studio. I grabbed a small palette of colors, taped a paper to a board and headed to their class. I find I have lots of time to paint, if I am creative where I look.

Love it!
The light, definition and joy shine forth from these Queen Anne’s Lace. The painting is even more beautiful then this photo. Thank you for letting me look through all of your paintings. Beautiful.
I agree w/ your mom.
