A sad passing, but what an amazing life. I just adore her way with colour, so vibrant and full of life!

What a talented painter! She was happy to be valued and loved for her art. I like the strength of colours in her paintings.
When a talented person passes away I sometimes wonder where does his creative energy go?...
