Looking at some old paintings and remembering the fun we had, Mama and me.

My husband told me he had some pictures of paintings on a disc that I didn't remember we had. I have a scrapbook with lots of pictures of paintings me and mama have painted over the years. We painted so many Noah's Arks, I don't know if I can remember them all. I think I'll go through the pictures we have and see if I can find them all. One of these pictures is the last painting of Noah's Ark I painted. We sell a few things on Café Press and this year, apparently this painting has been popular, as a tree ornament. One of my Christmas presents I am getting is a box of note cards of this particular painting. I have never ordered anything from them, but I wanted to see the product they send out, to see if the color and quality of the picture is as good as it should be. I gave this painting to my sister's oldest son and hope he will keep it to remember me by. A few of the other paintings are favorites as well. Painting pictures, is like making dolls in that each one is your favorite at the moment, but I have liked most all we did. I bought some of my mothers paintings to keep her from selling them all, as they are the sweetest memories of us working so hard, but having a good time too. Why did we paint what we painted and in the primitive style, it's hard to say, except I do love primitive things. I hope you enjoy looking at them.

  1. I can imagine you and your mom had so much fun painting these! The detail is absorbing...lots to see. Isn't it great to run across old works (or pictures of pictures?) and remember how you felt as you were making them?
