Sunshine Blessings

This painting is a gift that

I created for my niece.

She just had a new baby and I decided produce a painting for her.

I wanted a lullabye, but she said "You Are My Sunshine" is a favorite song of hers.

She described the baby as her Sunshine and joy.

So, I used the words from that song as the inspiration for the picture.

The piece is too large to scan at home, so I took a picture of it.

The result is that it looks angled and the quality is a bit off.

I wanted to post it before I bundle it off to her.

My Header

Well, I did a painting for my header, but...I don't think it's finished enough. Here's a preview:

The border needs some work, and I think the details can be better. I spent as much time on it last night as I could. I went to Yoga and had to go to Staples for my Hubby. Those breaks actually gave me some time to get a fresh look at everything.

It's ok, but not quite what I envisioned. If anyone reads this, please let me know what you think. I can redo it, or use parts of it in a new composition or even a collage.

Right now, I'm going to the store for some groceries. Later, I'll approach it again with fresh eyes.

For now, I have placed one of my favorite photos from last summer in the header.

I'll be back.
