.My first hand painted Christmas Ornament.....more to paint!

My beloved mother-in-law passed away in June at age 93. I was able to get a book of poetry that she had, with 100 famous poems. So I am starting now to paint about 40 ornaments. I'm also painting a short verse of a poem on the back, from her book. Then they'll go to each family member.

Here's my first ornament of a snowy owl.

@LoriMI that is beatiful! I am so sorry for your loss.

My dad passed away 12/28/15 I wonder if I could figure out something like that for my family

I tell everyone that God paints using my hands. I am amazed at what is painted. I don't know where it comes from. He really is the artist.

@Mary Bailey Start thinking about something special about him. Did he love trees? Have everyone plant a tree. Fisherman? Paint a fish on an ornament. Just close your eyes and think about a simple time that brings a smile to your face.
