A Lady's View

"A Lady for Zoey"

finally I finished miss zoey's painting. a darling baby whose fantastic mom is the biggest collector of my paintings (not to mention my bff). incidentally this is her first painting she has of mine that is not winnie the pooh. next project...a mouse.

Finally - quickly and a little rushed - but, done...for now

finally finished it. took forever but, with everything going on... oh, and I finished it in about 10 mins. hence the rushed finish. oh well. perhaps someday i'll get to do a few touch ups. it's off my easel and on it's way to the new owner. a precious 5 year old farmer boy named thomas. who, just happens to LOVE john deere. i happened to LOVE painting it for him. SMOOCHES!
