"Olè" - oil - 12" x 16"
Sometimes a wonderful compliment comes through the email, in this case from someone who happens to collect my work...
"It will be fun to see what else you have been working on. It's always really hard for me to pick something from your oeuvre. Your pieces are better than prozac - they always lift my mood!!"
...Thanks, Carleen!
(Too busy to write much today, but I missed you so here's something zesty to look at. Talk to you soon! )
