On the Twenty-Eighth__6x8 oil on linen__special commissionI painted this as a special commission for DB and KB...I hope they like it....the date of this farm painting was OCTOBER 28...
Saturday is the 28th of May....a day I have been preparing for for 12 years! My youngest son will graduate high school tomorrow....on his way to college and life beyond!...Just as I am on my way to an empty nest and life beyond!....We were reminded of that today, (Friday) as we went to the funeral for Aunt June....my husband's GREAT Aunt. Our families had a lot of contact with one another...it was great to see the extended family at the funeral on the south side of San Antonio...we all vowed to get together soon BEFORE the next funeral....June was almost 90. She was a friend of Grandmother Helen and married to her brother, Roy who died a few years ago....WONDERFUL TEXAS PEOPLE with a rich love of life and family...from an era that we owe a lot to..... She passed quietly in her sleep...what a blessing and GIFT to her daughters...

I love the division of space on this one and the depth.
Also....to refer to a familiar quote....Where's the paint?
(formerly referred to as "beef") In this one I can definitely tell you used more paint. Thanks for giving us more paint!
A beautiful painting and your right we do owe so much to the generation of your husbands great aunt. They were hard working, good people.
