CHILDREN of PROMISE Portrait, oil on canvas, 12″ x 12″ copyright 2007 Shannon White

 It felt great to complete this portrait, the final details of which were put on hold from May until now by Carolyn, the gracious patron.  The children depicted are grown, now, making their way in this world.  They danced in a circle, free and full of potential, one with a rainbow on her shirt, each beautiful in their own way.  I loved being in my studio again, smelling oil paint, linseed oil (maybe a bit too much linseed oil added to the drying time) painting people.  I was thankful for the opportunity!
