Pink

July 13, 2017

Pink may be most every little girl's favorite color, but it can also be so sophisticated and elegant. It's definitely a color that will grow up with you. Just an observation as I have been painting through rose-colored glasses lately, and I'm happy to report that I like what I see!

P.S. - Something exciting: This may or may not be end-papers for a little something (but you didn't hear it from me!)
