Finished painting, bee sting
Category: gardening among the rocks | Posted: Thu Aug 09, 2007 10:09 pm Couldn't get all the penwork to show up very well, but you get the idea. The tartan in the oval is a bit of the MacDougall plaid, always been a fave of mine since there is purple in it. I wrote up some of the history of the castle and printed off a map to it, both on antique-parchment-looking paper, and mounted that on the back. Hopefully this will be meaningful for Mom's birthday. 
And a closeup of the watercolor 
My Uncle is coming over soon, he apparently discovered some more information about this branch of the family- he's Really Into this stuff, I just think it's fun to fiddle with, especially when I find out almost-fairytale stuff like a castle in the family history! DS is home on leave from his work at the camp- he was out walking with several other folks, including a 1-yr-old, when a hive of very large agressive hornets took offense to them. Everyone else escaped unscathed, but the venom in the one that hit my son was so severe that he actually blacked out! It's been two days and he looks less like a cabbage-patch doll (it got him in the lip) and he's really wanting to get back to work. We shall see, I'm letting him make the call.

I think your Mom is going to love that Mary, so much thought and effort put into it.
Your mum is definately going to love it Mary. No matter what ages our kids are a hand-made pressie is far, far superior to anything you can buy in the shops.
Wow, that is really wonderful! I might have to steal your idea and paint the McPherson castle for my Pappy. What a cool idea, and great excuse to learn more about your heritage. Maybe I should do a Choctaw peice too, or a Greek one for my Mom! I'll be sure to give you credit for the idea :)
I love your painting and I know your mom will.
Thanks everyone! DS went back to work last night, this time he was swarmed by his friends who missed him, much nicer!
Very nice gift. I agree that hand made gifts are the very best. Login or register to leave a comment. |
