Isla

 


"Isla"
8" x 8" watercolor

The photo of this painting is not reading right today.  It looks OK on my
iPhone but didn't translate very well to computer.
Most of the time, this is the case.

This is a daughter Isla (pronounced EYE-lah) of a student I taught in first grade, many moons ago.
It's always interesting to see what your long ago students are up to.
This little girl is just as precious as her mom.

I love it! I really like how you rendered the water too.

It's an ongoing issue - part of what we deal with.
