A Good Book to Read

A patch of sunlight...

A favorite quilt...

A quiet corner...

A good book to read...

What more could you want?

I painted this for the weekly art challenge "Looking Down."  I think the intent was probably to paint something from the perspective from above, but I went with the subject looking down. I love this image (and this little one).

:) Anna

It's always fun to watch the initial reaction of a little one to her portrait. (Of course there's the little fear that they'll burst into tears or worse, not recognize themselves!)

Anna  stopped... looked... stepped closer... looked... looked at me... kind of cocked her head... looked again... reached out to touch... said, "The flower matches!" 
What was going through her mind?  Maybe she remembered that she was holding a raggedy old dying dandelion when I took her picture.

She looks pretty proud.  Her Pop (my brother) and I share a birthday today.  Tonight we'll give this little painting to him.  I hope he likes it as much as Anna seems to.

:) Strawberry Girls Meets Strawberry Girl

Oh!!!! My heart!

"IT'S ME!!  I'M THE STRAWBERRY GIRL!!!"

Now "Strawberry Girl" is in her forever home 

with her sister "A,B,C,D...E!" and her brother "Storytime."
