Old Boy Friend

Last week my niece sent me a fun image of one of her other Aunts

and told me she was curious to see how I would paint it.

I was compelled to paint something

"representational" after all this abstract thinking. 

"Aunt Lara" 

9 x 9 oil 

The image:

This was actually quite fun. 

It was nice to know I can still paint 

like that when I want to. 

Mark Daniel Nelson calls that 

"going back to your old boyfriend".
