Sunday Serenity

All Children are precious,
Eager eyes, willing ears,
Lovingly nestle to be near,
Waiting patiently, a tale to hear,
All Children are precious.
~Charles Garcia

expect anything!

The above is a painting by artist Gretchen Greene of her granddaughter.
It ~speaks~ to me. Those eyes are incredible!
(Gretchen happens to be my sis's mom-in-law. She's good, isn't she?)

  1. What a fabulous painting and her choice of colors is what totally grabbed me, along with those eyes. What a sweet child.

  10. Beautiful poem.

    The painting is incredible! I've tried portrait painting and it's so hard to have your work come across realistically....this one is lovely!

  11. There is a very dreamy and soulfulness about the painting. You can feel the love she has for her grand daughter. Lovely.
