For Nina: A picture



This painting is about 10" x 12".  I was sitting on the floor of my friend's florist shop [Bouquets by Bonnie], hiding from the day in which Diana had three 2-hour meltdowns, the first of which was in my past, and caused both kids to miss an appointment with their pediatrician.  Luckily I did not know about the two meltdowns that were still in our future!  I just hunkered down and drew and then painted the area right in front of me.  All except for those red things... they aren't real.  I imagined them as a way of making sense of the scene.  


BTW this was painted using my 7 paint palette:  Hansa Yellow Medium, Quinacridone Red, French Ultramarine Blue, Winsor Lemon, Winsor Red, Winsor Blue and Sap Green.
