Me and Baby Sarah (Oils)

Mother and Toddler

I had taken little Sarah, about 13 or 14 months old, for her first visit to Grandma Nora and Grandpa Gale's wonderful 40-acre place outside Fairhope, Alabama, with a house sitting right on the Boggy Branch of Fish River.  What wonderful times we Hollingers and friends/family had at that terrific place.  So "Daddy Bill" (as Sarah liked to call her dad, my first husband) snapped this great photo.  I loved how Sarah looked in the hat -- so cute!  When I went to paint this, I couldn't get the background right, so I made it a Key West background. It worked out fine.
