Here is my newest painting listed on ebay. It is called 'Flowers to Heaven'. This sweet little girl is trying to throw flowers up to a loved one in heaven.


Last summer Rose was making a flower head band for my Mom to wear and then she started asking about my Mom's Mom. So we explained that she was in heaven. After Anthony heard that, he threw his flowers up in the air to her in heaven. It was all very sweet and with everything blooming it reminded me of this special moment.





This leads me to ask, "What do you do with a woolly worm when you find it has passed on?"














Well, you build a casket out of electrical tape and acorn lids.




























Carry it on your head...... of course.




















Then, run off into the sunset to bury it.
