this post really has two meanings...by the end you will understand why i'm saying that...its about a painting/drawing/picture that my son gave me for christmas...i usually only post things that i've made or done on here...but i felt that this deserved a special spot on my blog...
i developed a fondness for skulls a long time ago...it was before they were really cool...before people were so into them...i have no idea why i like them so much...i'm just a normal girl, or at least i think so...others may beg to disagree...i like all kinds...big ones, scary ones, sugar skulls, girly ones with pink bows...so just imagine...christmas morning my son brings this out...
i'm sure that most people won't be so as excited as i was...i don't see this sort of thing on any of the blogs i follow...but hey, i do things different over here...
i always knew my son had talent...he picked up his first drum sticks when he was about 5 and started beating on a cardboard box...i have a picture of him...sitting there in his underwear and a t-shirt...he is 20 now...he has been playing ever since...i can't count how many broken sticks i've thrown away...or how many countless hours i've had to endure the noise...
i didn't realize he had this talent though...it wasn't until he was out of high school that i figured this out...
|
just a couple projects from school...one of his art classes.... |
he has attended several schools...trying to figure out what he wanted to do...right now he is really into art and music...i know its hard to make a living doing that...but, money isn't everything...happiness is...
i just want to say how proud i am of him for being so talented at music and art...not everyone is born that way...its a special gift....

here it is hanging up...this is a large piece..18 X 24...i purchased the frame from hobby lobby...one this size is very pricey...i was lucky enough to get it half price and i spray painted it black...(a little bit of a project after all)... |
maybe its not all the rage in blogger land right now...but on my wall it is...and it will be on pinterest as soon as i publish this...
