Dream Sky High

I was commissioned to create a painting for a little boy's room. His lovely mom wanted it to feature an airplane and for it to be colorful. I was super excited to get started! And as I was painting it I thought of my own guys when they were little bitty boys themselves. I thought of my pure love for them as I painted the hearts. I thought of their amazing personalities as I painted sparkles. And I thought of just how funny they were as I painted swirls. And you know what? My love for them now is just as pure yet so, so much stronger. Their personalities are so their own filled with their own passions and creative drives. And, gosh, my kids still make me laugh each and every day.

The Look of Compassion

So the little guy is a slob. His floor is covered with all kinds of everything. Dishes linger in his room for days on end. And it never, ever occurs to him to empty his overflowing trash can.


Me: "You oughta clean your room, kiddo."

Little guy: "What? It's fine."

Me: "Well at least bring your dishes to the kitchen."


He stood up right away to do it because he is an awesome kid, took one step, and landed SPLAT on the ground...because he tripped over one of the gazillion things on his floor.

Me, being the kind supportive mom that I am, looked at him with sweet tender love and compassion.


Little guy: "I know you're laughing on the inside, mom. Let it out or you'll explode."


So I did. Such a great kid to take care of his mom like that.


P.S. No, it's not a self portrait. I wouldn't dare attempt such a thing.
