Then 4, now 19

I paint every week, but I don’t always produce something worth sharing with you. So then I go back into my portfolio of 660 paintings and choose one. This week I’m packing to go to Vermont for the summer, so I haven’t had time to paint. Our granddaughter Lila is now 19 and just finished her freshman year in college. This painting shows the beginning of her literary journey. (These stripes, based on a photo I snapped, were a b—h to paint.)
