I’ve been working on my painting skills for awhile, and while I’m nowhere near as good as most artists, I love creating and painting is a really fun challenge for me. Usually I’ll paint on Saturdays nights after the baby is in bed, and I’ve actually really impressed myself so far.
The painting I’ve chosen to display is meaningful to me. This is a representation of my husband and son on a fishing trip. While this scene never happened, per se, this is exactly the relationship these two have together. They assure each other and love to play and learn together. I know some day I’ll see this scene over and over as daddy shares his love of the outfits with his son.
I hung the painting in my son’s room above the changing table for a couple of reasons: first, it just fits really well with the “adventure” theme there already, and second because I want to see it all the time. Not because I think it’s the best painting in the world, but because I want to think about my husband and son like that and try to be the kind of mom he needs, just like my husband is the dad he needs. Plus I want to look at it to see how I can improve my next painting. I always want to be getting better!
