I Know Portrait


I Know
7 x 9 inches


When we moved a few of our photo frames were broken.  Well... one of them was a desk frame.  You know the kind with that hinged board on the back to make it stand up.  Well I just couldn't throw out that back.  I have NO idea why not.  I just knew I could use it one day.

Well today is the day.  I pulled it out and collaged on LOTS of layers of papers and scrap painted bits.  On top of that I painted a sweet little guy.  I honor the wisdom that comes with age.  Where others may see lines and wrinkles, I see knowing eyes and a life well lived.
