This painting just is so “up town” classy but yet it has such simple beauty and charm. It somehow seems different than your norm look (which of course, I love) and the change is very inspiring. Apparently it never fails when you step out of your comfort zone a bit – you create SUCCESS!!!! I am secretly hoping you may be inspired to create a companion piece for this one before winter is over. It truly is INCREDIBLY STUNNING. j.
