Remembering The Love

This was the first oil painting I did for Ally.
One day I simply asked if she would be interested to
be my new subject to paint... She was happy volunteer.
In a few hours I received a surprise in my email of random
photos from her recent vacation in Argentina (to
train with one of the well respected Ballerina Instructors)
...As I browsed through, one photo grabbed me instantly.
I immediately set up my canvas, brushes, laid my paint tubes,
took a deep breath and.....

what you see is the final piece.

felt like heaven.
