This is what a love looks like in paint.  They wanted a "family portrait," but something more fun and emotional than a standard photograph.  After some discussion, we decided on a cityscape with graffiti that symbolizes what they enjoy and value in life.  

They and their five children created an extensive list of their beloved people, places, and things.  That inspired every detail of this large piece.  It's like a collage of experiences in their family's life.  Most are original and unique.  Others are from pop culture and other communities.  All of it is about their love of each other.   

See the how the piece was made at:

🍂🦃🍁 How Does Autumn Make You Feel? 🍁🦃🍂 

Brightscapes: The Way To Beauty


My dog runs toward the orchard as we emerge from our hike in the brightly colored forest.  Everything is vibrant as the sun's rays pass through the red, orange, and yellow leaves.  And it continues as we walk through the countless rows of apple trees.  We select the best fruit for cakes, tarts, and other treats on chilly nights.  Something that will pair perfectly with cocoa and movies.

How does autumn make you feel?  It's a season of transformation and reflection.  A time to break out our sweaters and absorb every bit of warm sunlight before winter arrives.  

Let's find ways to enjoy this fall season.  To make our home a special place for the people we love.
