Someone You Know?…
Martha had fun designing these wonderful women who, despite their age, know how to have fun. They are part of a series of similar paintings.

Looking at the expressions of the subjects makes the viewer want to laugh, too. They are obviously having such a good time.

Martha wanted to portray happiness, color, and movement while using patterns. This painting nails it on all counts. May you have as good a time painting as these ladies are having sitting on your canvas…
