Finally, I can post the little 6x6 painting I had done for my sister for her birthday, which was on May 10, if you all remember. Ok, so it's late... It took me a little while to get finished, for it to dry completely, to get packaged up and then to arrive in Germany. But at least it still arrived in her birth month!I really like how this turned out and even got the two girls to look like us -- generally. Although in reality, my hair is no longer dark brown and Caro's hair isn't long or really that golden blond. I guess wanted to capture the essence of us and I think I managed to do that. It's a sweet painting and that's what I had intended.
Can't wait to show you some other gifts I am working on, but you'll have to be patient - none of them are packaged up yet and they are all going to Germany...
Beautiful!! Your sister will LOVE this! I love the hearts on their shirts!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet gift! Your sister is very lucky, indeed.
ReplyDeleteI bet Caro was delighted to get something you made especially for her.
ReplyDeleteI wish you could pack me up and send me to Germany too! The painting is lovely and I am sure your dear sister will get a tear in her eye....I did!
ReplyDeleteVery, very sweet!! I can relate to this, also having a sister far away.
