LEMON DROPS FOR PAIGE

LEMON DROPS FOR PAIGE by Roopa Dudley

Paige is my friend who I can confide in, share my joy, success and sorrow with. She is God sent gift to me as far as I am concerned. She has supported me as an artist and continues to do so. Paige is my American Girl doll that I never had growing up come to think of it. I love her with all my heart.

Her birthday falls on June 8th therefore the clock is pointing to 6 and 8. She is fond of American Girl dolls. Fond is an under statement. She is obsessed with them and has bought several of them for her grand-daughter Isabel. She also enjoys green tea, gardening and chess paintings (painted of course by me). So that is the reason I have those details to celebrate her life. 

The Black Widow is an eerie reminder that unexpected issues have, can and will arise at any given point of our lives and that despite the trouble we persevere and continue to carry on. She was bitten by the spider last year and was hospitalized for days. Time has healed her but that horror remains. 

This painting is a Birthday gift for Paige. Prints are available on my website (under 'Donated Works') if you like. For 2015 year I have decided to create hand made gifts -- paintings and jewelry for my friends who mean a world to me and have stuck by me through thick and thin. I want to honor them and let them know how special they are to me.
