New Painting

Daffodils by Leah Kohlenberg
Daffodils by Leah Kohlenberg

On my most recent trip to Portland, I bought this painting from the artist with whom we stay. Leah Kohlenberg is a working artist who also teaches. I fell in love with this painting and just decided to buy it. I have never done that before and it was a novel experience.
