I recently purchased these watercolor paintings from Abby Wagner's on line "etsy.com" shop. (Forgive me for the bad photograph. It does not do the paintings justice.)
One of my goals in life is to collect art from people that I know and love. Abby was one of those people that I immediately liked and clicked with. You know how that happens sometimes. You meet someone and right away you find that you have similar likes and dislikes, your personalities are compatible and you just really enjoy being around them. Abby is one of those people in my life. We got to know each other while serving on FFC's First Impressions team and I have grown to love Abby and her family. I can't wait to get my Polaroid paintings framed and on the wall. Having items created by those I care about brings me a great deal of pleasure. It reminds me of them and brings to my mind how much I enjoy and love each person. This makes each piece so much more than just something pleasant to look at. Each piece of art becomes part of my life story and the people who have touched my life. I have several other pieces of art from family and friends that I will share with you in future posts, and give you some background on my relationship with each individual.
