Statue in a Garden

This is a little (9" X 12") oil painting done plein air in a garden. I did this a while ago (meaning years ago) while on vacation in someone's garden. Painting time was about 1 to 1 and a half hours on a canvas panel.
Once upon a time my old oil painting instructor Eugene Hall used to say "The best ones are the ones you give away". That's what happened to this one. I gave it away to a friend who "loved" it and I have never seen it since. Maybe she gave it away.

Steve,
You gave it to me!I love(d) it! After a few years I gave it to my grandniece Anita Jane, now a teenager, who says she wants to be an artist, in the hope that having a real artwork would inspire her to follow this dream. So far, so good. The painting is charming and much appreciated.
Anita
I'm glad to know the rest of the story -- I couldn't have served a better purpose.
