This September we were attending a wedding at the Coast. We had a chance to walk through an Art gallery and I fell in love with a painting of three girls with flowers. I loved it!!! But, of course, we didn't buy it. Then, Christmas morning came and the painting was under our tree. I cried (there is video footage. No I won't post that)
Here is the painting it is called "Small Flowers" by Annie Henrie
(Our wall is actually mustard and matches the flowers perfectly, but that is what no flash will do)
At Christmas JR told me that Annie Henrie is an art student at BYU. Can you believe it? He also told me that he had talked to her about painting the girls, but that she didn't do that. I completely believed him and was very content with my lovely painting.
Then today I came downstairs and there was a brown paper packets (not tied up in string) at my place at the table. I unwrapped it and found...
It is called "Three Sisters" by Annie Henrie
Didn't she do a fabulous job!!! I can't believe how well she captured each girl. Or as E says "She captured our good sides." And yes, I cried again!!!
Thank you JR. I love you so much!
Thank you Annie Henrie. I love your paintings. They bring such joy to my life.
