Welcome to the art of Sherryl Haines 

While in Normandy, France, I visited Juno Beach where the Canadian forces landed on D-Day.  It was an eerily quiet, cold and windy day.   As I approached the crest of the hill overlooking the beach, all I could think about were the countless young men lost, and the horrid conditions they faced.  I was entering a sacred and humbling place.

This sweet girl is my neice's daughter.  Her clear, honest gaze drew me in.  It was my first attempt at a watercolor portrait.
