This was my little secret Valentine that I was working on for Ben last week (I am just a little late in sharing it as I was a bit hesistant). It is a 7'x10' heart cut out of corrugated board and painted with acrylics. I don't really paint, but this little project was very fun for me. Maybe it is because I was making it for my Ben...
I am thankful to God for the cross and His goodness in providing me such a loving husband... I love my Ben lots!!!
I am excited because we have another fun weekend planned, so see everyone on Monday!!!
that's awesome!
ReplyDeletei really like the ending. you should sell those, too. you are more of a painter than i am :) (and i went to art school --ha!)
That is so fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThere is no better Valentine, I think you should give Hallmark a call :)
so so beautiful.
ReplyDeletewhen there is such intensity & passion in art, it is truly an amazing expression of your heart. I'm sure he loved it!
I'm fairly new to your blog...love it!
I think I got here via ohdeedoh? not sure...
This was so so pretty that made me want to cry!
ReplyDeleteSpecially because I wasn't expecting the perfect grand finale!
God is really amazing!
And I feel so happy when I see His litgh shinning through His children...
God bless you, your husband and your special family!
big kisses from Brazil!
that is so sweet and special. the paintings are great. what a keepsake!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love it and I'm sure Benny really LOVED it!!!
ReplyDeleteFor someone that "doesn't really paint" you are immensely talented! These are beautiful and meaningful. I'm glad you shared these!
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful. Good for you!!!
ReplyDeletePS - you should totally paint. Buy some little 6x6 canvases and get busy. Paint up exactly what you made here and I'll buy every one. :)

oh me oh my Ruby....what a lovely gift (and those cottages...just lovely!)
ReplyDeleteit made me tear up a little. you are too good!
ReplyDeleteSo sweet, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWowsers, Woman!!! That was so wonderful. You could make it into a little book like Emily Martin did with her hedgie book from last Valentine's day and sell it so that every one can have it and read it to those they love... Or you can just keep it especially for you and your ben only (and everyone who is blessed enough to get to read it here on your blog). I love how cute you are in the pictures :O)
ReplyDeleteLove, Susan
that is seriously the sweetest! love your art
ReplyDeleteHi Ruby!
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to say again that I love this work of yours!!
I just showed it to my hubby, he loved it too!
I agree with someone up here who said that this could easily be a lovely book! ^^
Kisses from Brazil!
i know it's already been said, but that is the best idea for a book. seriously. get Liz on it at 32Flavors, and I'm sure she could hook you up with a publisher to trot out the idea. you are so talented, and the book has such a wonderful message!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful gift for your husband! I love the last heart in particular :) God bless!
