Still I will rise
Old textured painting covered in gesso and white paint and I decided to paint a peaceful face.  The idea for this came after a yoga class...I always get ideas for paintings after yoga...Namaste.

Happy paint party Friday

I love the rich texture in all your pieces. I like the portraits, but my favorite is the pigeon because of the colors. Blessings!
