Finally!

Remember this?  I posted progress pics awhile ago, and couldn't post the final image until now... because it was a Christmas present, and it was a surprise... and wouldn't it be awful if I posted it and ruined the surprise?

So, here's the finished product:

And the recipient is pleased!  I'm so glad.  There's a wicked voice that lives way back in the back of my head, and it likes to whisper that I'm really not any good at this.  Be silent, wicked voice.  I am measured by the love of my Savior, and it's His approval I live for.

Just Finished

I haven't been completely slacking, honest!

I just finished this on the wall of a friend.  She chose the general image and the verse, then I went hunting for a reference pic that fit her requests.  This picture was taken up behind Alma, Colorado.  It was a lovely summer day, but one without a blue sky... that doesn't happen very often!

If you look closely there are two stick figures on the left peak.  My friend informed me, after I had  painted the image, that she and her hubby had actually climbed that mountain!  So, OF COURSE, I had to include them!
