I had a tricky Little Gem to paint today as it is Kristen and Doug's 5th wedding anniversary. Kristen, a graphic designer, is my daughter and Doug, an architect, are both amazingly creative artists in their own right and I was honored that they wanted one of my little gems for their collection. They have made it a tradition to buy a piece of art to celebrate each year...and this year it's me! I picked this scene of Montana as they both graduated from Montana State University in Bozeman and met there while walking their dogs...how romantic, eh? They also got married in Montana at Springhill Pavillion where, A River Runs Through It, was filmed. They live in Portland, OR. and we have to fly in to visit...I want them to move back to Montana where it is an easy drive for us and I'm hoping that this will send a subliminal message that whispers..."go back, go back ". They will at least have a little memory of a happy time in their life to keep them company!
Happy anniversary, you two...and thank you for producing our first Grand baby, Little Miss Ada Jean!
