For Amanda & Beth


Ink on kozo paper - 12x18

I spent the morning entertaining two grand neices - Katherine and Lily Platte.  We drew cats and dogs and unicorns and butterflies.  We used charcoal and pencil and water color and lots of paper.  Finally, the girls wanted me to paint something "Florida" with palm trees and grass and flowers for their mother, Amanda, and their sister, Beth.  This is the result.  I must admit there is more love than skill in this painting.
