In 1986, after seeing her children begin their own families and successful careers, Marg emerged to recreate and revitalize herself with a new career and expanded outlook on life. One of her favorite and most satisfying endeavors flowed from her casual fling with water colors, which eventually gave way to a love of acrylics. She developed a unique and masterful acrylic painting technique, doing most of it with her fingers and only occasionally using brush for a specific detail. In one of her deeply contemplative moments in the last few months alive, Marg made the comment that \"I have so much more to paint and create - that in so many way's I'm just beginning to live my life.\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kim","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41251169894446,"sku":null,"price":175.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0011\/9907\/9468\/files\/27F8348A-C5BF-4F98-90FA-59CADCE5B3E2.jpg?v=1737079435","url":"https:\/\/www.mavencollective.com\/products\/margaret-berchtold-portrait-painting","provider":"Maven Collective","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
