Gift


My friend, Kalena, asked if I would paint her something to replace a painting from her exhusband's family. It was going in her kitchen. All of a sudden, I realized I wanted to do a Catholic based painting for her. She is mother of my god-children and we all attend the same parish. I named this "Communion".

I switched to canvas. Aaahhhh, what a difference!!

This painting was when I began asking Gardenia for critique and help. Mostly what she does is make me feel a lot of hope!

Yes, the canvas makes the difference! Water color calls out for cold press papers with texture - but somehow acrylic seems to lay down richer on canvas, eh?
