The magic began with the smile of an angel. She created this garden with the gentle touch of her fingers and warm kindness of her heart. Most of us will never see her. Only if you are truly pure at heart will she come into your dreams and take you to her secret garden. . . . . . . . This is my first painting of the year. Created for the JANUARY 2005 PROJECT: PICK A MEMBER(s) AND GO WITH IT! This one is of JENNIFER SINGLETON... not only because she is extremely talented artist, but also one of nicest women I had the pleasure to meet here.
