Many years ago...and I mean many, many years ago, probably my early college years, I saw a piece of art that pulled me into its clutch. I've never really owned artwork and always balk at the prices of artwork that I see....but this particular piece, there was something about it that mesmerized me. Each time I looked at it, it made me so happy and warm. Years passed and because I never understood art and the whole framing thing, it always remained just a longing.
So the perfect end to this story would be that I'd say, "guess what? I got the art!" WRONG. In fact, I could never remember the name of the art work or the name of the artist. All I knew was that it was of a little girl with very short hair, beautiful face, and a soft yellow shirt. Soooo....as I thought about it again, I googled it, guess what, I found it and here she is -- just as beautiful as I remember her...
I'm thinking....it's been about 15 years since I first fell in love with this piece of art, maybe it's time I got it and maybe put it in my daughter's prospective room for a bit to keep me company.
Hey Tony, if you're reading this, it would definitely make a really nice gift. Click here for the link. Just thought I'd throw in a subtle hint....it would definitely score you some major brownie points! smile...(Shameless plug I know but one of my Love Languages is 'Receiving Gifts'....LOL)
Stay tuned to see if it arrives....**grin**

I love it!! The little girl is so pretty.
Haha! I sure hope that works! You're right, that is a beautifully mesmerizing painting.
way to go girlie! I can leave notes, beg and plead and still wind up with a gift that's more for him then for me :) Just the other day my hubby asked me if I'd be interested in owning an assault riffle!!! I'm not kidding... I'm a glitter and sparkle diva, nothing about me screams ninja assassin - hahaha
Great to hear that the home study process is going well. I agree, this painting is a treasure.

This is the first time I'm seeing this painting, it is beautiful. The painting called Beulah's Baby draws me in just the same.
I do hope you get this print :D
