Two generations of artists

There is no doubt where I got my artistic talent from; my mother.  My mom has been painting these fabulous birds on plaques using acrylic paint this winter and has over thirty of them done so far.  We visited two weeks ago and she asked me to add some of my flowers to a few of her plaques.  Boy, was I nervous!  It turned out to be such a wonderful afternoon, sitting and talking with my mom while she watched me paint.

My two favorites are the first two plaques in the picture below:


I showed my mom how to do some easy pine branches the One Stroke way...



I added pine to the two cardinals below.  The adorable woodpecker in the middle is all my mom's.  I told her she needs to teach me how she did the tree bark the next time we get together!


Isn't my mom an amazing artist!
