Sophia got to the beach, this summer, and absolutely loved it! She loved playing in the sand!
I worked on this 5 x 7 watercolor, while she was gone, as I was missing her and it helped me with thoughts of her. The photo, of her, here, is one that I took awhile ago and I decided to insert it in the picture with Photo Shop.
This weekend I am going frame shopping to put this in and present it to Sophia's parents as a memory keeper.
The watercolor was based on a photo I took a few years, back, in Rockport, MA (one of my favorite areas).
I hope you all are having a good week; we are coming upon another weekend soon. Our downpour rains have stopped and we are now enjoying beautiful weather! I hope you are, too!
Peace in your hearts and minds....................Love, Marilyn

Fantastic, Marilyn! Love the colours too.
Oh your just a show-off!!! You know that is said w/much affection ... this project is terrific ... what a great idea and what a great job you did ... that picture is absolutely darling ...
My Gma used to make me the most beautiful dresses to show her love, but I eventually outgrew every one, leaving only memories. Your granddaughter will have this gorgeous keepsake without ever outgrowing it. How precious.

Sophia has grown very quickly!
A very delightful creation, dear Marilyn! So beautiful!
What a lovely way to bring your loved ones into your art. So beautiful!
We do the same and don't listen to much of the news. We get dribs and brabs of it. Don't concentrate hearing it everyday. Too much doom and gloom. I feel that the news readers should find more goodness in the world also to give people hope instead of bringing our spirits so low. There are goodness in the world to share. We ought to call news new name 'doom and gloom'
Huge hug!

this is a darling piece. a great keepsake.
Marilyn, this is absolutely adorable. What a darling little picture of Sophie and what a wonderful memory gift for her.
And yes, I do love that 7 Gypsies paper. Isn't it great? Too bad I covered it all up!
This is so sweet of Sophia and a wonderful reminder of days at the beach with the wonder of a child! Her parents will love having this framed to hang for all to see. Happy weekend my dear...
How precious and sweet....She is going to love all these works of art you have done of her when is older....What a wonderful grandmother you are.....
Have a great weekend....
This is so cool Marilyn! I love how you have captured that special time!

It's so nice Marilyn. I saw Sophia in it before she was there! Love the one you picked too. So precious. I am always blessed to be in your company. Thanks for sharing.
this is just precious! I love what you did for the background and that photo of Sophia is adorable! :)
Simply ADORABLE. What a keepsake that I know will be passed down from parents to daughter. Sophia is one lucky ( and gorgeous) little angel.
