A Very Special Commission

"Little Darling" -- Acrylic and cut paper on wood panel.
This is a painting that I recently completed for a lovely woman. There is a very special story behind this particular painting, but I dare not share it without her consent. But I love the colors. Before shipping it off, I propped the original up in my yellow and white dining room, and it positively popped off the wall. I love this painting. And the title makes me happy. It's a portrait of a mother and baby owl (like another I have done in the past), and I was searching for the perfect title. I thought the piece looked sunny. Then I thought of the Beatles song "Here Comes the Sun," and immediately I got chills. This was precisely the same song I sang to Annabelle as a lullaby when she was a tiny baby (it actually put her to sleep despite the lyrics!). So this painting is called "Little Darling." I hope it brings joy and luck to its recipient.
