Soft Pastel painting measuring 3”x3” and mounted in a 9”x9” mat with backing support.

If you like historical romances, then you must read her books. Historical romances are my favorite reads. And Ms. Woodiwiss is the inventor/queen of this genre. Her stories are filled with heroes chasing defiant heroines in thunderstorms on boats, and that’s what I loved about her writing. The female characters were independent, gutsy and said what was on their minds.

Each painting in this 40-day collection, Skies The Limit, is named after a famous female writer or poet who has taught me an important lesson or challenged my philosophy on life. This list includes women like Elizabeth, Charlotte, Emily, Maya, Mary, Jane, Danielle, and Sylvia whose last names are unnecessary.

I'm drawn to skies for many reasons. While growing up, my sisters and I would stare at the clouds and watch animals and faces appear as they floated by. My parents always had us outdoors and showed us how to take time to pause and notice the sunsets or sunrises. Skies depict emotions and moods. You can have a very dark stormy sky (my favorite) or a bright blue billowy, cloudy sky. I love them all and I hope you do, too. Or, at least start to take notice of Mother Nature's beauty.

Painting will ship within two weeks with important care instructions on framing. Mat included.
