Note Cards - With you in mind: September 2013

One of my dearest friends requested

that I try my hand at painting a note card

based on "Nature's Masterpiece."

I gave it some thought, picked up my brushes

and this is how it turned out.

Please take a moment to just look around and appreciate

all of the truly beautiful natural surroundings

that have been given to us by Our Creator!

I remember as a young girl

belonging to the wonderful organization 4-H.

Each summer club members were allowed to

attend a fun-filled week at 4-H Camp.

Each evening everyone would hike up

to "Vesper Hill" where they would quietly

give thanks for the day and enjoy the beautiful

countryside and evening sunset.

It was truly the highlight of our camping experience.

Decisions - Decisions

Which one will it be?

After painting these note cards

I can not decide which one is my favorite.

So ...

I will just show all of them

and let you decide!

Betsy was raised at The Pennyroyal Farm in Johnstown, Ohio.

Being one of the most loving animals on the farm, her owners commissioned

me to do a special painting of her.

She was about 20 years old.

Just about 1 1/2 months after I got the painting finished, Betsy passed on.

The timing of that painting could not have been any better.

Betsy will be lovingly missed!
