TREE LETTERS.....
The one below is a twenty fifth Anniversary piece and they wanted their dog, Sally, on it who had recently passed....
I've done these "Tree Letters" for fifteen plus years ... can't remember when I started them exactly, but they are still requested by customers needing to give the gift of "Remembrance", "Newlyweds" or "Newly Born" in birth or in Christ. A few went to Russian Students that were at Baylor playing tennis. It has been a joy to do all of these "special names" over the years with their chosen scripture for each person. You end up thinking what the person is like while you are painting their initials or their full name....when you don't know them....you end up praying for them as you draw and paint their name. It has become a special order when I get a new name ... for whatever reason it is being requested and I feel blessed to get to do it! Enjoy and Great Blessings to you this week!!

This is so beautiful, Sherry! I love the early Americana folk art feel of it. And I love the "tree letters". This will make such a special gift.
This work seems to have the same quality as an embroidered sampler,
Just right for family things. Family likes to see things that remind them that your reminded of them when they are not there. I see family look around for this sort of valadation that I am remembering.
So cool looking and unique
These are absolutely beautiful. I'm glad I stopped by your blog today! This makes me feel like taking out my watercolours, but I could never do anything so beautiful, plus the only brush I have to weild today is to paint my hall ceiling - I better get on with it! GOD bless you!
