The New Watering Can

I am loving painting children at the beach.  This was a chilly day at Caspian Lake (many years ago), but Maizie had a new watering can so we had to have some beach time.  She was fearless and waded into the cold water to fill up the can and then enjoyed pouring it onto the gray sand...again and again.

Never mind that the sun wasn't out and that she had to wear a sweatshirt because of the chilly wind.  It was a happy day.

This little girl turned 13 last week - how can that be?  Happy Birthday, Maizie!
