Minna

 

NFS - 22x15in. - oil. - "Minna"

I keep feeling compelled to make my paintings larger, but the bigger they get the harder they are to photograph! So I'll mention again that these look so much better in person.

This is Minna (pronounced Mee-na). She is three and full of spunk and confidence. Her grandma met me at a park and then disappeared for an hour, which turned out to be perfect. Minna and I explored the park and the creek that runs through it. I got to know her, and saw her in all kinds of light, which I find is VERY helpful when I am painting.
