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...

Happy Birthday, Caroline

Today is my little sister's birthday! Caroline still lives in Germany and is one amazing young woman. She is a gifted Montessori teacher and a wonderful mother to two sweet and rambunctious little boys. Her life is busy, busy, busy, but she gets everything done with incredible grace and patience. Not having children of my own, I admire the fantastic mother she is. And, of course, the best little sister I could wish for!! Happy Birthday, little sis, and Happy Mother's Day!
Ok, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to post this photo where my sister looks cute as ever and I am a gangly pre-teen. And those clothes...it was the 70's, people! Allowances must be made...

To all you mothers out there, Happy Mothers Day!!
