A Splash of Colour
I was inspired to paint this when I caught a lovely photo of my vibrant granddaughter in a thoughtful moment. There is so much sparkle in her. I have called it “Golden Threads” which are those which are tied to my heart. I believe in auras – feelings, not something that is easy to define.…
