The Elaine is a bit reminiscent of the yin/yang symbol, where opposite forces are both interconnected...and interdependent. The swirls of deep purples with hints of black, burnt orange teal and beige are interconnected with a deep chartreuse diagonal center.
 
Elaine is my aunt, and like the yin/yang symbol, she has two different sides, that beautifully come together. In her career as a statistician, she dealt with exact numbers and formulas. As a painter, she beautifully expresses her creative side. She is a loving wife, mother, grandmother (to Mia and Theo), mother in law to Aurelie and Margaret. Elaine has a gift of bringing the entire family together for fabulous holiday celebrations.
