Dad




I lost my Dad on August 10th, just a month shy of his 90th birthday! He was a wonderful Dad and gave me so many things, including my artistic side. He was good natured and was being sweet and funny right up until the end. I will miss him terribly!!
Here is a new painting I finished titled " Sweet Attraction". It is watercolor and colored pencil. It is matted in white with a black frame and really stands out. I am currently working on a gourd birdfeeder for myself as a recent storm broke the branch my old one was hanging on and smashed it. I also finished a carved sign that was ordered for a gift.
Here is a lovely heron picture I took at the state park nearby, to close this post. Take a moment to enjoy the beauty around us, life is short!!
