A quick painting done in acrylic on canvas. Val sat down to read a book and in an hour and fifteen I came up with this. It has been a little while since I sat down at an easel, but it was fun. I'll have to try a few more of these. How I persuaded her to sit down and read a book is the amazing thing. It was still wet when I snapped this, but I'd really like to shoot a lighter value in were the front of that page on the page facing us is. My friend--Mark Lang--paints full time. The small taste of creativity and experimental fun in making such a thing really puts an end to any doubt as to why he does what he does.
