Lately I have been thinking that I miss writing those funny little stories that I used to post with each
painting soooooo.......
We started out on a bush in the sun. there we were one day just minding our own business when one by one we were gently removed from the mother bush. Not knowing our fate we all said our prayers of course. What else could we do? We were all tenderly placed in a basket and carried inside far beyond the reach of the suns warm rays. Afraid we shivered as one by one we were removed from the basket. Tender hands held us as each of us were made to feel like the only rose in the whole wide world. Lovingly we were placed in this cup but not just any cup. The cup was special also. It was held in the feeble hands of a grandmother. A grandmother who is now only a memory. As this granddaughter looks at us now she remembers and smiles and is oh so pleased. Happy we are just knowing that today we made someone smile. Today a day that started out like any other but this day is different this day ended in happiness.
This is number three in fact of my effort to paint a study of the one for my own larger
painting. I just can't decide what I want. I guess I will know when I see it. I have seen several paintings of gifts by artist and for some reason I love them. Carol Marine, Carolyn McDonald, and have painted some outstanding works. I am humbled by there's yet I trudge on.
Hope you like mine. This is a 10"x8" oil on canvas panel.
