hardest job you'll ever love....

'Fresh Bouquet'

Acrylic 16" x 20" x 3/4" canvas

SOLD

Being a mother and raising kids is the hardest job you'll ever have, but will always be remembered as the one you loved the most.   We had three kids that were each approximately three years apart,  Elsie, Emma and Doren.  These children were the greatest gifts a mother could have ever received and I am very thankful for them.   .....and now we are so blessed to have a most precious grand-daughter!

Last week she spent three days with us....she has quite the imagination and we have so much fun playing....it's not always easy, but YES, it is another hardest job you'll ever love!

"There you are!"

Happy Mother's Day!

with much love...Elizabeth

Well, our power has been out for several days. I'm sitting here at Panera blogging. So, what do you do when the lights are out? Paint!!! - in the dark, paint in the daytime- paint all of the time. This little painting was the first in my "lights out" series. Seriously, I had started this one as a severe storm was approaching, the lights flickered and out it went. SO, out came the candles and the painting continued. I really like a lot of things about this small painting. The two peonies (mother/daughter) and the subtle change in value from the glass vase and background.

Happy, happy Mother's Day!!!!
