Artist Friends

Painting is largely a solitary pursuit for me. I paint in space I've carved from a bedroom in my home. Only occasionally do I paint with others.

Nonetheless, I have many artist friends, mostly via the wonders of the world wide web.

An artist whom I know personally, however, is my 8-year-old granddaughter, Emmy!

When we last drove the 600 miles to visit in October, Emmy had painted a canvas for us. Whenever we visit, there it will be to dazzle us in the room where we sleep.

She's fearless—look at the energy in this piece! the color! the movement! the size of the canvas! the complete freedom of expression!

The sections in the center are for us: Papawi and Gma. Then, moving counterclockwise starting top left, we are held in the embrace of her dada, mama, sister, and Emmy herself!
