“First Bouquet”
Oil, 24×18 Inches
Sometimes life surprises us with a gift. In this case, the plan was for me to take a few photo references and do some sketching of my friend’s five year old daughter with some horses. But as soon as we reached a patch of white daisies, she gathered a bunch of flowers to give to me as a present. That was the moment I’ve depicted here. The painting holds for me the particular sweetness and tenderness that can only be found in a small girl.

“This is the first painting I viewed at Gallery Ariana, and fell in love with it immediately. The innocence of this child preparing a bouquet as a gift is endearing. It is now displayed at the International Music Syndicate in Colorado for everyone to see.”
