What you see is what you get.
These paintings were originally developed to teach as paint night classes. I no longer teach paint nights, but I still get a kick out of the paintings. I hope you do too.

Wheat stalks

Three Stalks of wheat.
Traditional symbol of wealth. People say, "You act like you were raised in a barn" like it's a bad thing.
I was raised in a barn, and that's where I learned the most important lessons in life.
I watched life begin and end in a barn
I discovered hard work builds character and killed no one
I learned respect, love and compassion
I realized sometimes optimism is the only way to keep going
I found sometimes you have to let go even when it breaks your heart
I dreamed and learned to never give up on those dreams
I failed and kept trying until I succeeded
I understand you have to stand up for what you believe in

The next time someone tells you that you act like you were raised in a barn, THANK THEM, because I can't think of a better compliment.
