The Artist's Gift

After 40 years away from the craft, my amazing and incredible artist of a mother took to painting again so that she could give me a custom piece of her own hand.  I can't believe with talent like this, that she hasn't picked up a paintbrush in decades.



She managed to capture the stars, the glow of the warmth inside the cottage, the texture of the vines and the grass, as well as the gorgeous stone on the building (which, by the way, is based on some of my favorite French architecture). With this stunning piece hanging in my room, I can go to sleep each night imagining that I am gazing out of that upper floor window, surveying the beauty of the french countryside by moonlight. <3  I cannot ask for more than this, the precious gift of my artist mother. <3
