I read some time ago that if you think you might regret selling a piece then you should not do it and I heard that loud and clear...maybe too clear. I have kept so many that I have had to store them, but that's okay. Perhaps my family will be really glad I did so once I am gone.<br /><br />Happy week to you!Lisa Graham https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908986924935514538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510428020824549223.post-7630883191259791462015-08-17T10:11:39.660-05:002015-08-17T10:11:39.660-05:00Thanks Myra!Thanks Myra!Lisa Graham https://www.blogger.com/profile/17908986924935514538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-510428020824549223.post-7485827727328023342015-08-16T12:48:18.040-05:002015-08-16T12:48:18.040-05:00Lisa - just loved reading your story about this pa...Lisa - just loved reading your story about this painting and seeing the old vintage photos.

I smile each time I take the creaky stairs. :) I love how young they look too...love how you put it...with hope in their faces. I often say that in heaven I want to be twenty-something, but a lot more mature. :) <br />Thanks for your nice comment. I absolutely love my Hurley painting.

Patterns are fun, there is a certain balance they offer if done correctly though I am not sure I even know what correct is. I just place patterns in places that are pleasing to me. Though I know someone else might prefer it differently.
