No Small Wonder - chalk pastel painting
Naming this painting of my granddaughter and her other grandmother (or ya-ya as she's called) was a challenge. I wanted to convey the sheer excitement of seeing the world through the eyes of someone who has never seen it before. Every inch of this planet is fascinating. Sometimes we lose the wonder.
I also considered a name that included the word Madonna...like modern madonna...reflecting the connection of grandmothers and their grandchildren.
This has been a fun experience!
