1254. Deep in Thought

 I spent a few hours at the Chicago Botanical Gardens this week and made a special point to look closely in the Rose Garden.  There are so many beautiful roses there.  I came home and made several changes to the roses in the painting.  "Research."

824. Say "AHHHH"

I have a keen appreciation for old things.  I found the carved limestone image taken from an old hospital in Chicago at a salvage house, and thought it would be interesting to paint.  I am very happy with the result.  It is reported to be an image of a physician, and I think the title is appropriate.
