This watercolor painting is named The Girl in the Straw Hat, but I called it the Girl with the Mesmerizing Eyes. The artist, my good friend John, seems to have captured the very essence of her being through her eyes. I often watched him draw and paint and he did it with such incredible concentration that I believe he became the object that he was painting. Sadly, we lost this talented artist and wonderful friend today. I am so very sad that I will not be able to paint with my friend again. My family grieves for John. He has many friends and family who will grieve for him. But he is at peace now and I wish his family comfort during this very difficult time.

Suze,
I'm so sorry to hear about your friend John. What a wonderful way to remember him. I never met John but I will now think of this painting of his.
Take care of yourself.
