Dancing Fairy ~ Frilly Geese ( Gifts from the heart)

 The gift that made my heart sing , a painting done for us as a Christmas gift by our daughter's oldest daughter. She painted what I feel as I watch my beautiful geese swimming in Cedar Pond. The fairy seems the magical embodiment of my geese as she dances over the water. When I look closely ( click onto picture ) at the painting I see so many more details and marvel at granddaughter's ability to capture so much with paint and her imagination. Thank-you KN !

    You painting is so wonderful. The artists sees them as ballet dancers as they wear their frilly outfits. I really think it is well done and I do appreciate your geese. I would have never know that they existed except for your sharing of them. Thanks.
