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 !

Your granddaughter is already exibiting an amazing insight into painting. It seems your whole family has special talents. You all seem to enjoy and appreciate the world around you and the ONE who made it. She has a talent that she can enjoy for the rest of her life and you'll enjoy her pictures! :D
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.
