A Painting a Day





This painting was a three day piece and I still need to adjust shadows in the fabric of the dress. It is a donated painting to the Gillian Jones Gallery for the opening March 9-10 in Granville, Ohio. Gillian has some absolutely gorgeous work she has accumulated for this show. There is a private by invitation only show on the 9th and the public show on the 10th. Working directly with her on this project, the auction of this painting will be to raise funds for the Team Regina Fund in Granville. You can read more about this project at www.teamregina.com. If you are interested in bidding on this piece or owning it outright immediately with a generous donation to the fund, you may contact Gillian at the Gallery.

The story and spirit behind the painting is based on the joy of all children dreaming about what they will be when they grow up and what their lives will be like. We all think of homes, families, jobs and growing old, and often those are not God's plans for our lives. In this painting the little girl has gathered roses (just as we gather our thoughts and plans in life). One rose has fallen from her basket with petals falling off the main bloom. The young child has fallen to her knees to pick up the fallen bloom. I relate this to our lives how we go along with plans (Want to hear God laugh? Just make a plan.), just to have things totally change. That is the one thing that God gives us that we can count on besides His Love, and that is change. Perhaps we should fall to our knees and give thanks for all He so generously gives us. Include a prayer for Regina.

Do contact Gillian if you have an interest in this painting.

The style of this work is gentle impressionism. A variety of layers of paint and different sizes of brushes, create a soft gentle effect.

This afternoon Terry and I head into Dallas to celebrate my parents wedding anniversary. They are such a loving couple with a dedicated commitment to love and cherish each other. They set such a high example for the rest of us!

Grace,
Laurie
