So adorable in her Uggs and Tutu.

This is another new painting for the ValeArts show.  Its hard to believe that the show opens this week.  Lots a admin things to do for the next week.Two BIG boxes of frames have arrived from Florida Frames, one of my favorite places to get frames.  So I will be framing, writing inventories and making labels.  

Budding Artist

Budding Artist, 8x10" oil on gessobord (sold)

This is the second of 3 paintings of the neighbor kids across the street painting and chalking on their driveway.  They spend hours drawing away.  Sadly, this is the oldest who is probably getting to the age that's it isn't cool to be drawing on the driveway.  I'll miss seeing her delightful creations. 

Self Portrait

The National Portrait Gallery in WDC has lots of activities for children.  On one of our visits, everyone was invited to sit at tables piled high with all kinds of materials to make hats.  Upstairs, near portraits of US Presidents a mirror was hung and next to it a sign saying, "Self Portrait" dated xxxx.  It was fun to watch kids come and admire their works of art like this young lady.  She was keeping impressive company with portraits of President Reagan at her back and President Carter on her side.  I don't think she noticed.
