art

evan and i are blessed with some amazing friendships. many of which we will never be able to repay all their kindness and generosity during this season of our life. these friendships are such a gift from God, and i am so thankful.

for christmas, one of my sweet friends gave me a gift of original art, painted by our "at-the-time-starving-artist" friend, jake. my dad came up to visit this weekend, and brought my gift with him. isn't it AWESOME!?!?!?! no kidding--these blog pictures don't do the art justice. the texture and creative elements are unbelievable and i absolutely love the color it brings to our dining room! now that i finally have my paintings, i feel like i can get on with the decorating in the kitchen. we should be ordering countertop this month (woo hoo!) and evan and i are contemplating painting our kitchen a brighter color. evan is thinking red (of course, razorbacks!) and i am thinking along the lines of an icy blue or really deep purple. i guess we shall see!
