Deep In Thought


This women was deep in thought or she was ready to fall asleep. We were in Africa when this was taken. My son was about eleven . The men who were getting married were his age. He thought that was pretty cool. This was the only trip that my children can remember anything about. So much for taking kids on trips! This painting was done on Yupo Paper. It feels like plastic and takes awhile for it to dry. The Paint stays on the top and mixes with the paint around it so you never really know how it will dry. I find that really exciting!
