Talent Challenge

14x11 oil on canvas

Not for sale

Our church is doing a Talent Challenge. It is based on the parable of the talents.  
Everyone was given the opportunity to take an envelope with a ten dollar bill in it.  
We are to use the talents God has given us to multiply the money we were given.  
We were instructed to use the $10 to buy supplies or whatever we would need to turn that money into as much money as we can before November 15th.

I posted this painting on Facebook this past Monday and opened it up for auction bidding.
It was fun to watch the bidding take place, and I am happy that a good friend was able to get the painting.
She had purchased a painting earlier for her mom, and she is keeping this one!
The proceeds will go toward school supplies for a local elementary school.

Have a great day!

The zinnias were fun to paint, as I let the warm and cool reds play together.

I love the color of the pot.

I hope you like it too.

I am thrilled that "Wednesday Flowers" from yesterday's post has sold!

My dear friend, Blake, bought it to hang in her daughter's bedroom.

I am most especially happy that sweet, dear Insley will get to have it for her own.

She is such a funny, adorable, cutie.  I loved teaching her in first grade.

Hugs!

For the past 17 years,  during mid August I spent my days filling pencil boxes with 

new pencils, crayons,  and glue sticks.  I created new bulletin boards and 

shopped for a new dress to wear on the first day of school.

I have loved teaching children how to read, and I loved my school family.  

I will miss them dearly, but am happy to begin a new adventure.  

I hope you enjoy Wednesday's flowers.

Have a great day!
