She's quite the woman. I love the way you painted her. She is warm and welcoming but there is also the feel that she definitely knows how to use that hammer of hers. I would not want to be the fool to cross her. I like the movement and textures in the piece as well as the careful attention to detail. Thank you for sharing this. It's good to see you painting again.
It feels good to be painting again. I made another piece but that I can show in november, not now. So I was busy 
Busy is a state I understand very well at this time. I wish you the best. I eagerly await November and the painting is another reason for me to look forward to it.
