A Lovely Gift

I checked the mailbox yesterday, and discovered a very lovely surprise!

THIS PAINTING!

It was created by our pal Sharon in honor of Wylla's first birthday.  You may recognize the image - it was part of the little video I created of all of your birthday greetings.  

We absolutely adore it, Sharon, and we thank you for this very precious gift. You've captured our wee girl so perfectly.  We will treasure this beautiful piece a lifetime!

Thank you , thank you, thank you!

  1. PERFECT! It is hard to capture the essence of a personality.... sometimes just a light in the eye. This IS Wylla!

    1. Not cheeky at all, Anne, but I don't think I'll be doing that.

  11. So cute! I love the way Wylla's helping to show it off, just like a tiny spokes model.

  12. It's a lovely portrait and Wylla seems to be very flattered by it as well. One of the best things about this blog is seeing how many talented people follow it.

  13. Oh, so beautiful. What a wonderful present that you'll be able to enjoy for years.

    I have paintings of my boys and a colored pencil drawing of my Sammy, all gifts. I treasure those works of art so much. It's especially wonderful to have the drawing of my Sam now that she's over the bridge.

  16. I think Wylla is saying, "Mom, is that really me?" So cute - both the portrait and our baby girl in person (in catness?)!

  22. I have only just seen this-I was in the midst of moving on Wednesday and haven't had time to look at the blog at all until today. Thank you all for your kind words, and thank you Laurie for sharing this on the blog. It was so much fun to paint-I do hope you enjoy having it. And maybe one of Bean is in order next...?
