"Protected"
Watermedia on Yupo paper
12"x16"
I recently painted this painting when my seventeen year-old daughter was sick with pneumonia. I felt so helpless. I wanted to protect her. As she gets older, there are times when I wish I could bundle her up in a blanket and keep her safe. I couldn't do it in real life, so I painted my wish in my painting. She's well now and I'm grateful.
This piece can be seen at Hanover Area Arts Guild at 32 Carlise Street, Hanover, PA 17331.
I'm the Artist of The Month for September. Seven of my paintings are hanging in the small display window in the front of the Guild.
