Peonies in Pewter

 

Thankful for my parents, brother John daughter Rachel and her husband Daniel. This was one of our smaller Thanksgiving Day dinners but still so special. My parents and husband have encouraged me with my art, they tell me I can do anything, John teases that I paint by numbers well, but of course he's just kidding.  These are just some of the people behind my love for capturing God's creation in Oil.
