remember this?

after our vacation to cannon beach this summer, I posted about a painting I had found in a gallery while there. alas, the artist's original piece exceeded my budget.

to my surprise, I received my very own reproduction as a birthday gift this year!


my mom's friend susan is a very talented artist and my mom asked her to recreate my beloved scene.

she did such a great job, I've forgotten what the original even looks like. susan's version is softer and even more beautiful.

thank you susan. I will treasure it.
