Today I spent time with my very busy daughter Nancy. I enjoyed going to dinner with her and catching up with her. She works very hard at her job, and is very good at it as well. I miss not having her living at home, even if she's just an hour away. She is such a beauty, if a flower, she'd be a rose. There are so many layers to her persnality, so many hidden qualities and strengths. Often others see just her looks, and not into her heart. She is a lovey young woman to behold, full of humor and wit. The sun shines down on her, although she knows it not. Her heart has had trials, so she puts out her thorns, yet, the one who tends her with love, she'll surround them in her love. My child of my heart, I'd grant all the wishes I could. For now, I share with you this mere painting. I can not express my love for you as I'd love to write and to show. My beautiful daughter, my little rose. I love you Nancy! (This was entirely digitally painted, not a photo manipulation in any way. I used a Wacom tablet w/stylus and Corel Painter IX.5 software.)
