A portrait by Brittany


Brittany sent this to me today and I just had to share with you..  She has not picked up her pencils in over a year... I am so happy she did...  I think she is stunning...
I hope  you all are enjoying your week...

I am working on my angel relief... I hope to share with you in a few weeks...
Thank you for your friendship and kind words.
blessings,
Penny

  10. Absolutely stunning indeed. WOW!!
    I have to show my husband. I love to inspire him with his most precious gift of art that goes much too neglected at times due to his busy schedule.
    I look forward to hearing more on your angel relief.
    Have a beautiful weekend, lovely Penny.

  11. This is a beautiful portrait, Penny. Her face is so lovely. My son used to draw with a pencil and you know, I still have those pictures to this day. Will keep them always. I saw your October roses too. Aaahhh, I can smell them from here.

    Have a blessed weekend.

  20. Penny, I came over here to check if your "follower" gadget has disappeared just like mine. AND my tool bar atop the blog is gone as well. I can't even get into my blog to edit. I wonder if this is a widespread problem?! Jeir

  21. Hello, lovely Penny. Thank you for stopping by with Thanksgiving blessings. Many blessings to you and your loved ones too, friend.
    I'm not sure if you visited before I posted my most recent post, Thank Heaven, but I included some of my husband's work there along with a special tribute to a handful of artist's who grace my heart. I had so many saved under my last blog, but I cannot retrieve it no matter how much I've tried.
    Love and blessings!
