old enough

(5x7)
Me and the Atlantic Ocean: a self-portrait for my 50th birthday.

  5. Wonderful, Laura! Happiest of birthdays--you're (as my grandmother would say) just a babe in the woods! This is a lovely self-portrait. You're on a roll here.

  7. Nicely done as always. I picture you like this too, with the sea as your backdrop.

    You should paint with your eyes closed sometime to make us 'non-talented" people feel better!!

    Love your work, and no, you don't make me feel bad!

    Happy, Happy Birthday

  10. Hi Laura,

    Both you and the painting are beautiful. I think it's too bad we have to get worried about the decade birthdays. 30, 40, 50 -- before
    numbers we would just have been alive.
    What a good thought.

    You are great.

    Have a super year. Happy Birthday.

    Take care,

    Barbara
