When the child in your life debuts on the canvas of your studio it is truly a magical moment! Every toddler padding barefoot along the shore of a vast ocean is a touching scene. But what if that child is a precious grandchild and the spitting image of her mother (your daughter) at that tender age? This was my inspiration for Tiny Treasure. This painting captures the memory of two special little ladies, my daughter, Kristen and her daughter, Lacey. The heart of a grandma led me to stand still, breathe deeply and remember.
The silver light of the late day sun casts wonderful peachy shadows on the sand. The crisp white of the little sundress sets up a perfect contrast to the deep blues of the evening sea. The title of this acrylic painting poses the question what or rather WHO is the Tiny Treasure?
