24" x 36" acrylic and inks on Japanese rice paper

I was sitting on the floor of my studio at Indian Orchards, Pennsylvania, USA, putting the "final
touches" on this painting.  The image is one of a grandmother, wrapped
in her comfortable shawl, carrying her grand-child on her right shoulder.
Only the baby's head appears in this painting I was doing - when
the telephone rang.  It was my friend Beverly Adler [     https://www.facebook.com/beverly.adler.94     ]
- telephoning to share her incredible joy.  She had learned a few minutes prior that her
daughter-in-law in Florida was pregnant with her very first grand-baby.
Naturally, this painting belongs to Beverly Adler [          https://www.facebook.com/beverly.adler.94          ].
