I received this beautiful bouquet of flowers & balloon’s from my absolutely amazing hubby in Iraq. Now how sweet is this, to get flowers from a man in a war zone 6000 miles away. He is the best hubby EVER!!! (Today is the 3rd Anniversary of our second marriage after a 2 year break and 7 year marriage prior to that with 2 years of dating..haha, figure that one out!)

Been painting on Toronto Swampy today, I have his eyes done and I have about 10 minutes worth of daylight left – I may set up a lamp or something in a few minutes so I can get the grasses done. Either that or I’ll get up at the crack of dawn in the morning to continue painting on him. Hm. Dawn is sounding like a better plan.

I have more fabulous photos to share. (they’re big!) If any artists are reading this and want to paint them please do, and let me see it when you’re done wouldjya? Two of them are very dramatic photos of the Sweetheart Roses in my Anniversary Bouquet. (Know what I got him? A fancy schmancy print that I formatted of a section of our vows that were/are absolutely perfect for our second marriage to eachother..what else do you get a guy who only has wall space and tacks?)

On to the photos:
