This is the sister painting to "Cool." I intentionally used complimentary colors in each painting. I especially like this one with strawberry and pistachio ice cream.
When I was in Los Angeles this last January visiting my son and daughter-in-law, I went to a street fair to take some shots. After I took this shot, the owner of the booth quickly said some words to me that I didn't understand. However, I did understand the hand gesture to not take anymore photos. Glad I got this shot because I really liked the pink dress in the sunlight.
It was dress-up day in photography and the photo for this painting really caught my eye. I don't paint many portraits; only if I have free-reign. However, the folds in the fabric, the way the light was reflected through the iris, the rosy shapes in the lips, and the red stripe on the nose, were all bekoning my brush!
