Hand in Hand

It's easy to imagine a fairy tale...

Once upon a time two little princesses in shining white dresses went down the path behind their castle. The birds were singing, and the squirrels and rabbits scampered about as they stepped into the forest. They were planning to collect a basket of berries and flowers - a surprise for the queen's birthday...

You make up the rest - just as long as they all live happily ever after.

This painting has had the honor of being  featured in several Etsy treasuries (collections of art and vintage items) Together is a Great Place to Be and Just the Two of Us celebrates a special bond between friends.  Childhood Dreaming and Let's Go Picnic! are two others.    Happy Birthday Mama reminds us to appreciate time with loved ones. Click  Arkansas Artists  to enjoy the treasury celebrating artists from my state. Or, click Friends for a collection to make you smile.  It was also a part of a sweet treasury that went along with my "fairy tale" idea. And, Journey... will remind you to enjoy the trip.  Enjoy a valentine treasury called Love Is in the Air.  There's one more that features the deep rich color of the background.  It's called Get'n Me Some Green. 


The original hangs on their granddad's wall, but giclees are available for purchase.

  2. This pretty much sums it up. This is beautiful and I know I have photos with my girls all dressed up in their sweet little dresses. My oldest is blond, and the next one in line has brown hair. This pulls at my heartstrings! Thank you for participating in "In the Moment".

  3. I'm going to try to write a poem about this painting and my memories of my two oldest girls who are now young teenagers. Keep an eye out for it in the next week. That is if I can do one I like well enough. :)
