I absolutely loved painting this photo of my sister, Darlene, who passed in 2015. It was healing and comforting, and fun! Honestly, it was like spending time with her. I couldn’t wait each night to get to it.
I talked to her a lot while painting, and I could hear her voice so clearly. Sometimes I cried, but many times we laughed. Yes. I could hear her laughter and it filled my heart! Especially when I was painting her lips, haha! My sister had amazing lips. An amazing smile. I had to make some small adjustments to get her smile just right. I think she’d be pleased. I miss her fiercely. This painting is a gift for my mom and dad. ❤️
