My first thought after beautiful, was Grandma Barnes. I would love to try my hand at painting someday. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent! I am so thankful for blogs so we can keep in touch with those we love!

Hi I'm Shani Allen Dutton Shari and Todds Daughter. I went to school with Tristan. My mom told me to stop by your blog and look at this It's absolutly amazing! In some ways it's even better than a photograph could ever be because you can feel your heart pouring from the brush strokes. It's absolutly brilliant!
Thanks for sharing.
