On My Easel 11/18/11

Today I worked quite a bit on a commissioned painting.  It is an illustration of a poem that my customer's niece wrote.  It is also one of my favorite things to do, bringing a story to life visually while at the same time creating something that is full of personal meaning.  Not a bad way to spend the morning, and not a bad idea for a holiday gift either!

Last night I walked on the ice...
The moon bright above me...
With the stars shining down on me...
I felt him...
In everything...
The stars above me...
The wind blowing around me...
The snow crunching quietly below my feet...
I know he was there...
Standing with me...
He never really left us...
He is in everything...
I feel him around me...
Keeping me safe...
Loving me from a distance...
