Little Blue Butterfly



This is a pastel painting of me when I was five years old. Set to travel, got my wheels, but I'm hanging on. My doll is strangely armless, but I believe we traveled together in those days. The butterfly was a blessing. My good friend and world-class portrait artist, Livy Hitchcock, painted this for me from a fuzzy black and white photograph. Livy and her husband, Tom, own a wonderful fine art gallery on St. John at Mongoose Junction called Bajo el Sol (Under the Sun).
