I am finally back to painting and posting again since the illness and death of my husband.  Painting was my escape while he was ill, and my solace now.  He was so patient and understanding when I took time to paint and encouraged me.

I continue to be interested in all genres.  We had a lecture on Vincent van Gogh and were encouraged to try his technique copying one of his paintings.  I found it very difficult to do the many short brush strokes. That means I have finally loosened up my painting and use my brush freely!  The above is my result.  I was relieved to go back to my style.
