A Lily For Shanna

This is a Lily for Shanna, a daughter of my heart. I've been blessed to have known her since she was a young teen, best friends with my daughter Nancy. Two peas in a pod, two angels, two hellions. She's been the peace bringer and maker in her life and her profession. She's forever now in my family, my home always open for her to come in. She 's a friend as well, and makes me laugh when she visits, she stays at my home, instead of with her best friend, my daughter Nancy. She is a beauty, although she pretends she is not. Her life she lives serves to help supports many others, she is strong, she's true. So many lean on her, I 'm glad she has Nancy to lean on if in need. I love her so deeply, and miss her as much. She's moved away, and I see her not enough. These lily is for you, Shanna, forever a daughter of my heart. (This was entirely paintied digitally, not manipulated in anyway. I used a Wacom tablet w/stylus and Corel Painter IX.5 software.)

Another great painting. The colours are fab and the composition direct and strong. Lucky Shanna.

Artist Reply: Thank you Roisin! Shanna is coming to visit next month for a while to see our new house. I'll take her around Yosemite National Park which is about 45 minutes away from where I live. I've missed her and can't wait to see her.

Beautiful image Terry, well done! And, what a beautiful tribute to what sounds like a very lovely young lady, Shanna! Laurie :)

Artist Reply: Thank you Laurie! Shanna is special, and a daughter of my heart, a friend as well. She is a beauty inside and out, a rare bloom indeed.

the most acceptable yellow i've ever known:))) 10zx10

Artist Reply: LOL! Thanks Gregory! Yellow is tricky to use at times, tooo bright and it hurts your eyes. Unless you go to golds, and orange, mix it with black and you get those awful shades of green.! Glad you like this one!

Beautiful flower and dedication!

Artist Reply: Thank you Emily! Shanna is one to treasure. I wanted a matching pair for the two, to remind them of the unique love I share for Nancy and Shanna.

beautiful and generous thoughts, special words from a very thoughtful person.

Artist Reply: Thank you Joseph! Shanna is someone to treasure and to love. She brings honor to those around her. I could not love her any more than if I had born her, she will always be in my heart. She is a wise woman, a natural born healer of the soul.

Artist Reply: Thank you Joan! Shanna is special in every way. She has gone through tough times, and came out strong. She is a brave and intelligent, I wish her the best, and to know she deserves only the best in life for her character and actions.
