A special lady....

Ruth

work in progress

When I attended Charlotte Wharton's workshop in September, Charlotte arranged for me to stay with her at Ruth's home in Rockport. Ruth was a stranger to me, but now I consider her to be a good friend. We spent three days together, laughing and talking in the evenings. I wanted to do this for her. Ruth is a beautiful woman, 80 years old going on 30. She has a love of art and life. I've had a hard time getting that mirthful look she has, but I think I'm close.

I don't know the woman but you have caught the magic in her eyes and smile.
