The Artist

The Artist She worked in water colors, brilliantly mixed and textured. Bold brush strokes, daubs of lumpy sunshine, finger tip illusions. Her palette ablaze in the passion of youth, the scintillating shock of stylistic expressions. The sheer white. challenge of her glistening medium.

She was three. 4/19/2014 For Anthony Slausen contest

Oh how simply beautiful - went to friends house on Sunday and this was the scene in the kitchen - paint everywhere but two happy children with glowing (and paint covered) faces. Hugs Jan
