One a Day Keeps the Doctor Away

On a lighter note, here's a not-so-New Painting Today I ran across in a rare studio-cleaning frenzy. From the garden to the table to your wall? This turnip wears the expression of the family pup taking a nap.

BFF & Webkinz

Tween girls practicing the skill they will master soon as old enough for smart phones. Bright raking winter light catches their forms, separate yet inseparable. 'Nuff said, though some may believe the painting unfinished. Capturing the light on the forms was my intent.
