For Mother’s Day, my husband sent the Local Artist some photos of my favorite spot, the Vernal Pond, and images of my daughters when they were younger. He commissioned a large painting to hang in my office. This beautiful acrylic painting reminds me of the last decade of living with flair: the woods, the spring buds, the Lady Slipper Orchids–all of the wonders of nature captured.
Having a gift like this, painted by a dear friend, represents one of the best gifts I’ve ever received in my life.
