Painting just the right piece for Mary Blake was kind of a struggle for me. It had to be her style, it had to have meaning, and it had to reflect her.... This painting is called “Ray of Sunshine”
The official definition of ray of sunshine
: someone or something that makes a person happier or a place more cheerful
Mary Blake, you are our own ray of sunshine!!! When you were little I sang this song to you all of the time:
You are my sunshine, my only sunshine
You make me happy when skies are gray
You'll never know dear, how much I love you
Please don't take my sunshine away
I cannot wait to watch you spread your sunshine at State ❤️💕
