Happy Birches

I am grateful for the person who liked the painting above enough to purchase it at the Vasaloppet Art Show in Mora, Minnesota. May it grace your home. Below is Confirmation Day, which I painted for my niece.
Nice work, great colour.
Thanks for your comment! I enjoyed looking at your work also!
Happy birches, indeed! It looks like you had a great deal of fun doing both these paintings.
I appreciate very much your placing me on your ‘blogroll’.
Shelley, this is beautiful!
I love your Birch Trees and your Blog is inspirational and uplifting!
Thank you for sharing all of your beauty, Shelley!
Thanks for your kind words, Emmy!
Shelley, today as I was deleting old e-mails I came across your blog address and have just read them all and looked at your art. I am very proud to see and read your work. You truly are a communicator of all things good. Love from your Mom.
I will assume your enthusiasm for my writing and art is totally unbiased and not at all influenced by the fact you are my Mother!! Thanks, Mom! Love, Shelley
Your trees are truly alive!! I can feel their essence. Thanks Shelley for sharing yourself!! You are one groovy lady 😉
