dandelion princess



8 x 8, oil on canvas

a sunny sailor,
strong, spirited swimmer
and sculptor of sand.
a spellbound artist
in a splashy sea of pink,
and stylishly sequined shoes.
a sincere and soulful singer
in a swirling skirt.

self-confidant and strategic,
sensitive and supportive;
a spectacular speller,
snappy sleuth
and serious scientist.

a shamelessly silly
supervisor of scout,
a sister in september.
a snugly sugarplum
and softhearted smiling star.
six going on seven.

That is so pretty! Can I ask how long it takes to paint a painting like that?
Your poem is wonderful too. You're so creative!

You do the most exquisite work, Faye!!

Who is this beautiful young lady???

Stunning, Faye, simply stunning! And is that poem your own???

I love your blog and have been commenting (but only in my head!) for quite a long while.

Thank you for the beauty you create.

This is a really lovely painting, Faye. Sweet without being saccharine.

Beautifully sweet painting. Love that she is picking flowers. Love the light on the dress. Faye, this is wonderful- whoever this is, I hope they cherish and treasure such a memory.
