I had to go to Michael's today and they just happened to have a sale going on - 50% off select canvases! So I bought a couple and painted one right away. The Chicago skyline in acrylic paints:
I knew one of my kids would have a talent for art like this - afterall on your grandma Ritva's side of the family there are several artists, most of them dead now. Good thing you are carrying on the talent - you are very good! It seems to have skipped a generation... Grandma Ritva's father and two of her aunts were gifted artists and Grandma Ritva has some of their paintings in her home. I should have her take pictures of them and e-mail to us so you can see that you come from a long line of talented painters. Keep it going - who knows, you may have your own art show in the near future. Love and hugs, MOM
I've been married to my amazing husband since September '06. Life is great! We added a sweet little boy to our family in December '10. He was born with a Congenital Heart Defect and had open heart surgery at 2 weeks old. It was so scary, but I feel so lucky every day for all we are blessed with. We have a great support system in our friends and family. We work hard so we can play hard - although we don't always have the energy. And we never want to forget where we came from.
