On Saturday, February 21 I took my little Anne Marie with me to the art studio of Anne Marie Oborn to pick up the painting I had commissioned her to do (of that daughter). It is inspired by a photo that I took when Anne Marie was about four or five years old and was out in our little rose garden enjoying the roses. Anne Marie has always loved flowers--particularly roses. Every year when they are in bloom she goes and smells them all, picks some and throws them into the air and thoroughly enjoys the experience! I wanted to capture that moment with an oil painting. Take a look at what we got:
While we were there we were invited to walk in her Gardens where there was a enchanting little playhouse and water wheel. It was a delightful experience.
Thank you, Anne Marie Oborn!
Oh my goodness! Our little Ann Marie has grown up so! If I would have seen this picture hanging anywhere, and didn't know you had it commissioned, it would have known it to be her! this is how I remember this sweet spirit! Thanks for sharing. So good to see her grown!
