Beautiful & serene, it's lovely and she's very talented
Newfld,
Thank you, once again, for your comment!
Nice painting! Pastel?
To me, she captured the temperature and the effect of light: it looks to be about 78° F at around 2 pm.
Alfie,
Yes, I think that she is a great artist. It drew me in immediately.
Drinks the light!
Daisy,
Thank you!
Very pretty little painting! I like it. With her background, it is too bad that it is not a figural painting as medical illustrators are great at doing anatomically correct paintings, something beyond the skill of most artists.

Really odd! There is not a single painting on her web site that even has a human being in the composition, much less any figural works. Given her training, that is both odd and puzzling. Still, I really like her work. Doing good work in pastel is always difficult.
After going through all of the work on her web site, I did find three that had small human figures in them, but nothing that challenges her training....
kwqd,
Thank you for comments and the research! I just loved this painting whenever I spotted it at the art shop!
