i delivered this today...
a commission...
for some very special people...
it's title; "Nature Dancing"
it started out like this...
then....
it took so many turns,
so very many layers of paint...
fibers, modeling paste...
it began to take on new and wondrous life,
yes, even to me,
the one painting it ;)
these were 3 little lilting flowers up in the right hand corner...
but i HAD to turn them into little birds!
this was a beautiful learning experience, bold, and brave
for me...i wish there were a way to explain any or all of it...
and the family loved it!
I'm still not through with gray...
i added a little blue to it and painted another bench my husband made!
last weekend, my nephew asked his 19 yr old son what he'd like to do special
for his birthday.
Zack said he'd love to go to the coast and visit where his grandma's
ashes were spread...taking his girlfriend, his dad and i...
his grandma is my sister Carolyn. ;)
we stopped at the famous old Ernie's by the roadside, literally!
toasting that special sister of mine and mother and grandmother!
these 2 found a crab and ran all over the place like young people do!
the sun began to sink...
the bitter sweet ride home was memorable,
dry docked boats by the roadside...
gorgeous wild life and mudflats...
roadside farms...
and a most gorgeous sunset.
CONTENTED and BLESSED are we...
