younger flashing naivety

Dearest Valsa, what a beautiful poem on the sweetness of these two sisters! You have captured their spirits as this painting captures this moment in time as they pause with their own thoughts. Just lovely, dear friend. Best wishes for a win in Brian's contest. Sending you blessings of joy.
