I got this painting from my DH today!
I have had my eyes on it since last year.
It is painted by a friend of us Martin Immerzeel, who is a fabulous painter.
Unfortunately he doesn't have a site.............so I can't show you more of his work.
I'm so happy with this gift!
This is Lolo's surprise!
A wonderful lotus mandala box with cards and mandala magnets.
I LOVE these treasures!
And I love to be friends with you Lolo.
Thank you so much dear!
And this beauty is a gift from my son Lars!
Happy 4th of July, wherever you are!
Hope you can celebrate life and freedom today.
What a thoughtful husband, it is a beautiful painting!

you are so lucky to have emily as your best friend. she is the sweetest most fun rabbit even though she talks too much and sometimes gets in trouble she is really very nice and she is cute too when she bobs at cape coddy and rolls downhill in the moonlight and she is just totally wonderful.

Happy late birthday, Marianne!!! What wonderful gifts! Love your mousy painting...and your sons flowers are gorgeous! What a neat surprise from LOLO! All these mandalas around in life and you don't even notice them! Very cool!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet mouse in that painting! And the details on the teapot, wow!!
ReplyDeleteLars chose a lovely plant. Sweet boy ;)
I'm glad you liked your little gifts. I had fun choosing them!
yesterday I was in urgent Care in Colorado because of a very bad spider bite (on my breast!!)
Then I went to a cookout at my sister's house and came home too late. Today will be a loooong day driving!
I'm glad your day was special, dear friend!
