Home Again!

We are home after a one month 5900 mile trip around the country visiting family and friends.  We got to see all of our children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren along with other family members and friends.  Our stops were in NM, TX, TN, GA, WV, OH, MI, IL.  It was a wonderful trip. 

One of the places we visited was Graceland.  We went there to see some stained glass panels that Elvis had as a room divider.  One of our sons wants us to make copies of them for his home.  Here is a photo of the stained glass.

The subject matter is peacocks and it seemed everywhere we traveled on the rest of the journey we kept running into peacocks.

I even bought a peacock feather at one of our stops.  Since I seemed to be "haunted" by peacocks I decided my next painting will be of a peacock.  I am anxious to get started on it.  I also got other ideas for more paintings which I will tell you about in future posts.  I will also tell you about our visit to a stained glass factory in WV at a later date.

Part of what we did on our trip was to take some stained glass windows to family and a friend.  Below are photos of the windows when they were installed.




 

The last photo I am posting is of the calla lily painting I did for our son and his wife.

I wanted to show what it looked like hanging in it's new home in San Antonio.

We had a great trip but I am happy to be home and looking forward to getting back to painting!
