Tipping of the Hat (Watercolor 11x17 in. 1997)

 I also love to paint children.  They are just at the beginning of their lives. . .





exploring the world and all that is in it for the first time.  Watching how delighted they are at the simplest things - wearing a hat . . .

or enjoying the beach with their father - those things remind me of all that is good in the world.  It gives me hope and gratitude.
