I finished the large mailbox for SewBatik. The employees are chipping in as a gift to the owners. Oh my, they make beautiful fabric! I tried to create the look, but it was time consuming and difficult. Oh well...it. is. done. :)
Then I painted up this 11 x 14 canvas on Saturday. When my middle son spends the weekend, he usually crashes on my sofa so, in order not to wake him up too early, I go to the basement and paint a little. I found this angel quote last week and knew I wanted to paint something to go with it. "Each of us are angels with only one wing, to fly we need only embrace each other"
Yesterday, Ryan spent the night again so yep.......off to the basement to play. This is a 6 x 14 plaque. "Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, live the life you have imagined'
I love that quote!!
My oldest son, Derek, spent his Sunday fighting a local fire :( He is a volunteer fireman and I'm so proud of him. My Dad and uncles were firemen, my ex was one and 2 of my sons. In these small towns, it's all based on volunteer work so these guys get nothing in return for what they do. Only our admiration and respect and it's the least we can do♥
Have a wonderful week!

Great idea on the mailbox. How fun to give such a gift. I love your newest paintings. Blessings to your son for firefighting...
Wonderful paintings. Love the angel quote - I've used that on my angel paintings before. That mail box looks like it took a lot of effort and dedication to paint.
