Paintings by Sarah

My wife Sarah loves to paint ; she used to paint quiet often back in the 70s. She always talks about how she wishes that she had more time to paint. For years she has been collecting all the tools of the hobby but for some reason just never seems to get around to it. She claims that she is waiting to retire before she paints again. It is too bad that we all have to wait until she retires, I think that she is very talented and would love for her to regain her interest in this hobby and perhaps hone her skills as an artist. Below are some examples of her paintings that she did in the early 70's.
