GLOUCESTER WILDFLOWERS, 5X7,SOLD

My friend, Donna Vines, is from the Gloucester area. She is a wonderful photographer and artist.
Yesterday, we were painting together and she had the most beautiful photograph of what she called a marsh outside of Gloucester. I had my own plan to finish a painting I had started, but immediately changed my mind. Sooo, peeking over her shoulder, we painted the same scene.
You can find it in my Etsy store.

Donna's photos never fail to inspire me whether it be laundry on a line, a view of a friends yard. Her favorite thing to do is take a lovely photograph and then use oil paints on it. Check out her blog for something different.
