I have written before about painting wedding bouquets for friends, friends of family, and sometimes as a commissioned work. I love doing it and I always hope that the paintings will be a wonderful, lasting memory for the bride and groom. I have a dear friend who remarried after the sudden and unexpected loss of her husband. It was a heartbreaking event that will take years to mend. Happily, she found someone to share her abundant life with and remarried. Her new husband is an avid and experienced gardener who grows many beautiful flowers and plants. Their wedding reception was decorated with these beautiful amaryllises from their garden. My gift to them was this painting. It can not compare to the real thing, but hopefulllly these painted ones will be a lasting and year round memory of their happy day and new life together.

Looking for a new home can be a huge problem. Well, I have changed homes a number of times now, and it never gets easy. Each time we live in another house, we had to think of how we can remain there forever. I start building relationships with the people in the neighborhood, and having to leave them behind, it is just the worst. I hope that you do not experience that kind of event in your life, and good luck to your home searching.
