This young woman was waiting for a ceremony to begin that I was attending. She lives in West Africa and was wearing a string of random beads that my African friends prefer. Her expression was open but patient and knowing. I thought some of her grandmother's wisdom must have come to her, just like the necklace.

I took a picture of an old oak tree in central Texas which I used for reference. I decided to represent it in an iconic vignette type rather than a straight up landscape painting.

I am recovering from being paralyzed from the neck down with Guillain Barre Syndrome. I have always had a gift of art. I was so afraid that being paralyzed for over a year that I would lose my gift? my prayers were answered and my ?gift? is better now than before. I do not draw anything,, I see it in my head and then I paint. I do not have fine motor skills in my hands and I tell people I can not load and unload the dishwasher but I can hold a paintbrush!!!

This painting inspired by the local ocean at sunrise is on a 4x6 inch canvas board. I particularly like the texture the canvas gives the painting and the translucence of paint on the canvas giving a watery sea foam effect.
