Mother & Daughter - Art in the Afternoon


Several years ago, my daughter and I took a class together with a group at our church. A small group of women gathered under the direction of an artistically gifted women who shared her love of art and teaching. As a group we all followed her step by step and at the end of the afternoon we each had a completed oil painting. The top painting is my daughters and the lower painting mine. The scene in the painting as I recall was from a lake or river in the Texas Hill Country. Gazing at the painting reminds me of the wonderful time the two of us spent together enjoying a commonly shared passion.
