My very talented mother

Among my mother's many talents, she definitely excels in painting. She just finished a painting for Eric and me of Amsterdam. When we went to Europe a few years ago, we had such a great time in Amsterdam and fell in love with the city. When Mom told us she would paint us a picture, we thought it would be perfect to have a street scene like one we had seen while we were there. We gave her a picture of what we wanted and told her to take her inspiration from that, but to also add whatever she wanted to it. We just love the final painting and can't believe we have it to hang in our home!

Thanks, Mom, for our beautiful painting. You are so talented and we just love it!!!!

Here is the picture we liked.

Here is the final painting! Isn't it great? Mom added the leaves on the trees, made the buildings more colorful, added flower boxes to the windows, and even added a little bird on the ground. It's hard to show all the details in a photo. We just love it!!Mom signing the painting...

Here is the painting hanging in the spot it was made for...our living room. Now, we just need to finish painting the walls!
