Contemplation



















I can feel the sunshine coming. It has been beautiful weather lately and I am so excited for summer. This is a painting of my Mom. It looks like she is enjoying a quiet moment to herself - in reality she was actually watching 6 or more kids climb and jump over the groin she is sitting on. How she remains so calm during all the craziness I'll never know. I guess that is what makes her such a great teacher.
Cheers to you Mom!

  4. Just Beautiful. The soft blue of her dress stands out so well, even with all of the blues around her. I think the composition works so well, that the eye goes where it is supposed to. It is very contemplative looking. Is it a Mother's day gift?
