My Sister

Recently, I got an opportunity to visit with my sister. She is quite a remarkable woman and I wanted to paint a picture to celebrate her. This painting depicts Mind, Body and Soul. The little jacks is about her childlike playfulness, that's the "Mind" part. The "Body" is represented by the pink ribbon, yes, she is a breast cancer survivor. And lastly the purple Irises, her favorite flower. This is her "Soul". Purple is a royal, regal color and she is royalty to me.
I hope to send it along to her soon.
Luv you Sis

This weekend is cold and barren. We're deep in the heart of winter and I was missing spring, so, I decided to paint flowers. This is the first painting and I will do and impasto of yellow and orange daisies tomorrow. Hope this brings you some hope for spring in the bitter cold.
