Amanda’s Birthday
by sandihester
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord! Joshua 24:15
My sister’s birthday was June 24th, but we just celebrated it last night so I couldn’t post her gifts until now. She asked me last year to paint a picture of their house since it’s the home where her kids are being raised and there’s special memories associated with it. Well, I did my best – which wasn’t great, but here it is. I did 3 different versions of it and this is the one I decided on giving her – I didn’t love any of them – I don’t think this is my forte – but I’m also not a very good judge of my own work – I rarely think anything is good. I also matted a sketch for her that I did at her house while the kids were asleep of Aidan’s scooter. Happy Birthday Amanda!
I just love the paintings you gave me! I am a sentimental freak, and these will hold a very special place in my heart. I love the one of the swingset too – I wish you hadn’t trashed the original! Thanks again – I love them!
I’m glad you liked them Amanda! I didn’t throw the original of the swing set away – I just threw the print away some how – I’ll make another copy next time I get prints made (if I remember). I would give you the original but it’s in one of my sketch books and has a painting on the other side of it – the same with the scooter.
