Beautiful girls in fancy new dresses,
faces all powdered, combed are their tresses.
Standing still now, yes, on display
soon asked to dance, they hope, oh they pray.

I am the least happy with this one, of all I have painted so far this month. It’s done now, and on the books. I was actually on a roll today, I have three others started, and I worked a bit more on the one I thought was going nowhere (from a couple of days ago).

Maybe if I add a long braid to this, or some curls. Or swap the colors out. Hmm… so maybe it is a work in progress. I didn’t think of “ladies” in the beginning. But that red form, even before the color, looked as if she was standing there with an attitude. And the stripes remind me of those silly band-aid looking concoctions.

Ok, it is official. I have had the best birthday “week” ever! It started back on December 24th, when I received this wonderful painting from Kathy Mackay.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then, few days ago, this gorgeous surprise arrived from Sea Dean.

 

 

 

 

 

 

And yesterday, I had these amazing tiny treasures waiting for me.

I can not believe all the detail Sandy has packed into such a tiny space! Boggles the mind!

My heartfelt thanks to each of you. I really am so honored! I love your work, and I am in awe of your talents!

Boy I tell ya’, great art definitely puts a little sunshine into this cold weather being sick thing. (Going on two weeks oh joy!)
