Never heard this quote before - pretty funny. Can you imagine the uproar if Hillary or Michelle said it today?

I really like this one Faye. You are gaining confidence with your strokes. I love the colors in the shadow. Nice design too.

I love the quote. Who could not love a terrific first lady with a great sense of humor?

Thanks Vicki, I'm trying to work on minimizing those pesky brushstokes.
And, yes, Paula, I agree. A sense of humor is essential!
Keep painting--the two of you inspire me,
Faye
