Cornflower Blue

Although my style of choice is realism, I have wondered what it would be like to paint in various other styles such as impressionism or abstract. This cornflower gave me the opportunity to integrate a little bit of an abstract feel to it. I absolutely loved working with these brilliant blues and purples...it feels rich and fresh all at once.

To Melina, Love Mom XO

Meet Melina. She is my youngest daughter and will be turning 18 this week! Where has the time gone? As a young child I remember her playing in the pool, learning to ride her bike, reading her first words, her multiple karate classes, birthday parties with icing on her nose and so so much more!! Where has the time gone??

I painted this picture of her as I don't get to see here everyday anymore as she is in Quebec and going to college. But now, this painting hangs on my wall and I see her smiling face everyday and I get to smile back and think back to those days and look forward to the future memories we will make together.

I almost signed it "Love Mom XO".
