Have you ever bumped into an old friend, one in which you have not seen in years? That happened to me last week, and the best thing is not only catching up on what the kids are doing and all of life’s changes but to be able to pick up where you left off and being able to laugh and cry with someone that you really make a connection with.
My hope is that my children will have friendships like that, close ones, with not only friends they meet but (especially) with each other.
Recently I framed a watercolor I made of my two daughters, Mary and Leah. Leah decided to cuddled her sister, who was having a hard time sleeping and was a little scared, as children can be of the dark, where wild imaginations roam. Out came the camera, for it was a photo opportunity that I was not going to pass up! After I painted it a thought came to me that it should be named Faith Clinging to Hope. Mary clinging to Leah, her protector. In some of the other paintings of the children, people have commented that the one seems to be protecting the other. Just a great thought! This was a very special painting, one that I thought needed an extra special frame. I am not a glitzy type, but I thought that this painting needed a nice big, beautiful gilded frame. After searching for a while online I came across one that I thought fit wonderfully. And here it is…
So now I am deciding how to frame the rest of the Sweet Slumber paintings, using similar frames and colored matting. I hope the rest of your week is amazing and that you are able to see the life, peace and light that are surrounds you!
I would love to hear how your week went! Comment below just to say hi, please share this on social media!
Adios,
Holly
