"Liza" by Sharon Hodges

Liza is my goddaughter.  I photographed her playing one afternoon on the beach, and loved the colors in the sand and, most of all, her shadow.  The shadow is my favorite part of the painting.

"Not Exactly Fishing" by Sharon Hodges

These young boys were 'just looking', ahem, at the beautiful koi pond at The Cloisters at Sea Island...I promise that I did not see them grab any fish, at least not while I was standing there taking their photo!  This painting has generated two commissions that are currently on my easels....maybe they will be finished before this month's topic is completed.
