New Artist in the Family

How delightful!  I arrived at our son and daughter-in-law's house to visit this evening and was shown DIL, Paula Webb's paintings. She is learning to use acrylic and a paintbrush with all of her energy. This is a new development in her life, one that she's quickly becoming possessed by. She's a talented storyteller already, but now is telling them in a new voice- that of a painter. 
                                        
A busy wife and mom, Paula hasn't had a lot of free time over the past few years for her creative side. What she makes has had to happen at night, after the little ones are asleep. She's had all-night sewing binges for years; now she's using that time to teach herself to paint. I'm filled with admiration. 

What really grabs Paula's eye is fantasy art. Her first two pieces are filled with images that tell a story. The third painting is a nice example of her bright color sense. 

I'm so tickled to have another painter in the family and will enjoy watching her work develop and grow. 

Thanks for stopping by!  Alice
