I just discovered the 30 Thanks Gratitude Adventure or #30thanks started by Marissa Bracke. How inspiring. As today is Nov. 10, I am starting with what she suggests for today which is thanking a parent. Boy, I have two wonderful parents and am so blessed to have had their constant, steady love and guidance throughout my life. And particularly their devotion to and care of one another as an example of how to live a beautiful and happy life. This photo was taken at their home on Thanksgiving day 2 years ago - how appropriate. Look forward to celebrating again with them this year.

What a great thing - thanking your parents - I wish mine were still here so I could do the same. I suppose I could still thank them, right? Beautiful thought, and how great that you painted from their photos - it's like a wreath of generosity that goes round round!
Your parents sound wonderful! I too have been blessed.
I like this pastel. How lush this villa looks! I think part of your spirit travels with your parents. Their enthusiasm about their trip seems to have poured out on your paper!
Love the post. How lucky you are to have such parents.
Deb, What wonderful thoughts! Such a sweet tribute to your parents, just wonderful! I also love this artwork!! It reminds me of the work of Joe Draegert, an artist whose work, I admire. He is currently exhibiting at Erickson Fine Art Gallery in Healdsburg, CA. Take a look at the website, you will see the similarity!
