Paint Party Friday - I love my ice cream



I made this (18" x 24") canvas portrait in acrylic of my mother eating ice cream, based on a photo I took of her.  I entered it into the Michael's art competition which closes June 19th.  There are some stunning pieces submitted, the main thing is that it was a lot of fun to do.  Happy Paint Party Friday!
