I love this painting! It reminds me of so much of what I enjoy — bright colors, interesting folk, and creative use of space. It’s a great reminder as well (check out their afros!).
I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do…

Wow Sis! This is incredible. I have to blog about this next time I log in. It’s gorgeous. I love your choice of colors. Their expressions, everything. The thoughts in their heads *_^ Lovely work.
Shine on.
You’re needed.
Love&Light

Lovely!!! Thanks so much for sending the link — I love discovering all the new pieces you are sharing. Have you seen Beverly Naidus’ site?
http://faculty.washington.edu/bnaidus/
The site itself is a work of art — I flipped the first time I saw it! And I just thought you might dig her work and they way she is doing arts for social change… Miracles and hope all is well with you!
