I have to brag up my incredibly talented father-in-law, who blessed us with this beautiful painting as an early anniversary present! Vic has always been a wonderful artist, but has had much more time for his painting and sketching since he retired. Every now and then he sends snapshots of his most recent creations, and I have been faithfully whining to him that I didn't have any of his work on my wall...and that whining finally paid off ;-) Dave is frequently homesick for his native Pacific Northwest, and so I told Vic that I'd love a scene with Mt. Hood in the background, and I love this one with Lost Lake in view. Having this in my living room reminds me that of all the places I've lived and visited (that's a lot), the NW is my favorite. Despite some of the crazy people that live up there (no, not you Steph & Kevin!), Dave would love to move back someday, and I'd gladly follow.

and I think to myself, "what a wonderful world!"

THAT'S GORGEOUS!! Go Vic!
And I understand wanting to live near those mountains, but hey, what about the mountains right here in our back yard...don't you miss those?
Oh, wait...
What a beautiful painting!
What a wonderful talent. Would love to have just half that much ability to paint like that. I am sure it looks great on your wall.
It's fantastic! So much creativity on Dave's side. The NW is definately closer to me.. I vote that you move there.
I am always in need of a friend especially one with a large fam! When that someday comes around maybe we could be neighbors! Love the new background!
I am so glad Vic has had time to pursue his interests. Gifts like that are so special.
