Although I did these paintings a while ago, I realized that I never posted them and decided that I can should probably post about more than just my envelopes. My three sons are frequently on my mind while separated from them here in Baghdad. I decided to do a special painting for each of them and have them framed for them.
Ethan has become quite a musician and dreams of Bigsby Guitars so I did this painting of a guitar for him. I loved experimenting with effects of the chrome and light and shadow on this one. Ethan loved it.
Dalton is a huge fan of amphibians and recently has become the proud owner of a chameleon. What fun he is to watch eat crickets and change colors depending on his mood. His eyes are so incredible. I did up this painting of a chameleon for him.
Seth is our resident astronomer. He loves to get out his telescope and look at the moon and stars. I love any chance I get to sit under a starry sky with Seth and marvel at the heavens. I'm excited for the upcoming chance we'll have to witness a total solar eclipse together this August. This painting was fun and one that reminds me of these special moments Seth and I have (and will) share together.
It was fun doing these paintings to honor the love between me and my three sons. Can't wait until we're reunited!
