This is the latest off the easel. 18x24 acrylic on canvas of my great niece Carissa who lives in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. I went to Canada this past summer to visit and Carissa very graciously shared her bedroom with me and gave me many wonderful gifts of rocks and coins and handwritten notes. Her Mom (who is a wonderful photographer) caught this shot of Carissa as she came in from the pool to show off the butterfly she just found. I think one day she'll be a scientist of some sort because she loves insects, rocks and animals. Or maybe we all love that kind of stuff at her age!
By the way this is her Christmas present! Shhhh!
The verse on the back is Psalm 65:8
