Sisters

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...
