Three Muses Challenge - "Stars"


This week over at Three Muses....the challenge is "Stars" and immediately I thought of Marilyn Monroe...one of my favorite stars....she is and will always be an icon...

This is a watercolour painting I did as a tribute to her and is sold and currently residing in The United Kingdom....what fun!!!

Happy Wednesday!!!
