A Painting a Day





This painting was completed on Saturday. My right had is so sprained from the car wreck I am struggling to paint very large. It is done with a huge brush, thick paint and lots of color! There are quite a few layers of paint on the flowers!

FATHER'S DAY. Rainy and full of love here. We pulled our aching bodies from bed and tolerated the hour trip into Dallas in torrential rains. I wanted to turn back and go climb back in bed, but my true dear hubby pushed onward despite his lower back and major headache. We Thoroughly enjoyed visiting Eastridge Christian Church and hearing the wonderful message based on the father of the prodigal son. It sank in near and dear to the heart you might say.

We declined any reasonable thought of Sunday School and stopped to hug friends there and headed to my mom's to collapse and rest before taking them to lunch. Lunch was at Mainstream where we had a good group of both Dad's and our two son's, friends, girlfriends, our grandson and my mom. Excellent food...the men all had the special which was steak and Lime and buttered sole with asparagus, and twice cooked garlic potatoes.

I am off to rest as the ride home brought tears to my eyes. I was surprised yesterday with a gift from a friend from another artist...a painting that I loved when I saw it! I have to call Charlene and say THANK YOU for making my week and tomorrow write the artist and send her hugs in celebration of the painting!

Grace to you on this special day...remember you dad's and the all they sacrificed for you.
