Heartwork

Well you may or may not know that my husband and children are really into art. My husband works hard and plays hard and part of that play includes painting.  After a long day at work he finds it relaxing to paint with the kids or alone. He actually took about 10 years away from painting and got back into it last year. I love all the paintings he does but I especially love the most recent one he did from a photo. The picture is of my daughter in bar harbour maine.

He has also painted from another photo my niece took in maine of a big old red barn

This one is on display in my dining room

I just love the shadows and light on that one.

Oh and here is a chalice that we found in an antique shop

and as a sweet valentines gift my daughter painted this sweet heart

and my husband painted this one!

I just love my new heartwork. Don't You! 

I am looking forward to seeing what they come up with for good ole St Patty's Day!

My husband was looking for a way to get some daddy/daughter time with my oldest. My youngest tends to demand a lot of attention from us and my husband thinks it is important to have that time with my daughter. So they set up a studio in our basement to start doing painting and pastels.  I love it because it means free artwork for me. I have also suggested that my daughter wrap some up as christmas gifts for grandparents, godparents and teacher. She is actually pretty good.  My husband is also doing some painting on his own which I think is great.  It is a great way for him to relax and get work out of his head.
