Beautiful Painting
You may recall Beccy featured this painting back in May. Beccy's mother-in-law is a very talented artist and she had very kindly agreed to paint a beach scene with all the family in it for me. I had seen the painting in progress when I visited and once it was finished Beccy was looking after it until I could collect it. So you can imagine my surprised when I met her from the airport on Monday to see her come out carrying the painting. As soon as Embee arrived home from work
This post is to say a very big thank you to Marie who, I'm sure you will agree, has captured the girls and grandchildren (when they were younger) so beautifully and to Beccy for making sure it reached me safely.

I saw it on Beccy's blog and I was jealous of her mil's talents then. I still am. I want someone to paint a pic like that for me!
Yes I remember this painting and justlike Terri, I'm jealous and wished I could have someone paint something like that for me :-(

my4kids and la bellina mammina I consider myself to be very fortunate!
tiger lamb girl I'm thrilled with it as you can imagine.
barbara you're right she did Marie admits to not doing portraits so she tends to create pictures where the face is not the focus.
enidd I did wonder if it was going to get stuck in a certain person's house!!
Ahem!! (You know what I am about to say!!) Time to make a few beautiful paintings to leave to your in-laws!! This one is indeed gorgeous!

wendy I was waiting for your comment I thought this post might have escaped you as you had a busy weekend (I'm laughing)!!
pamela, marie spent such a lot of time on this painting and getting it framed is a bonus as I'm pretty useless at choosing frames.
beccy I look on it as being the custodian!
elena jane it will end up back with one of them someday!
