Something That was a Gift

This bright and beautiful piece of artwork was made especially for me by my granddaughter Leigh. It is actually a little canvas and I have it hanging on my wall where I see it many times throughout the day. She has definitely inherited her parents' artistic traits in my humble but grandmotherly opinion!
So very sweet.

Thank you Nada, Lisa, Ana, Carla, Vickie, Meg, Liane, Colleen, Smitha and Donald! I will let Leigh know how everyone has complimented her artwork- this will please her to no end- believe me!

@vposey She is 6 Vickie- it's hard to believe she's that age already!

The colors are lovely and remind me of a quote I love but don't know who said it first, "Because she couldn't color within the lies, she drew new lines"

@pandorasecho Thank you Dixie! And thank you for the fav too!
@sgiesman Thank you Sarah!
@inertie Thank you Pinar!
@ruthmouch Thank you Ruth!
@henrir Thank you Henri!
@ellimae Thank you Ellen!
@rachelmackenzie Thank you Rachel!

Oh yes- you are all so right about this gift! It's a special one and always will be. The canvas is small- about 3 inches by 4- but it's quite colorful as you can see! And the heart is at the center which really seems to illustrate where the gift was coming from.
