Another painting I’m proud of

Last week I was posting paintings that I was proud of for a project
that invited artists to share 10 pieces that made them proud. I was asked
to take part in that project by the wonderful artist Liza Hirst.

Looking through my website, I saw this painting which I would have to
add to the list. This is a portrait of Jan Marriott, a woman who knows
everything about vintage fabric. She now mostly sells online, but I met her
when she was selling at the Brickworks market in Toronto. The portrait.
shows Jan in that setting with quilts behind her, and beautiful fabrics on the
 table in front of her. Jan is a wonderful person, and kind friend. Many of the
 beautiful things in my house came from her collections.

I’m so happy that I was asked to paint this painting, and that Jan liked it, and
still uses it as her profile image.

Have a loving your life day.
