on my easel

Here is the original painting for a book cover. This is one of my favorite covers to date. I offered it to a friend who is beating cancer. I like to give art to friends. I have a very small circle of very good friends so I dont have to give away a lot of art. I need to stop giving away art because I sell most of my work and I can always use extra money..plus I have very little of my own work around..all sold...sad
