Happy Mother's Day

Happy belated Mother's Day to you all. This year, as a gift, I contemplated paying someone to shoot pictures of Leilani and even called around to a local photographer to see what the cost might be. $300 for an hour. I passed. Instead I decided to commit to an idea I had of creating a faux oil painting of Leilani, Lily, and Murray. I had plenty of photos of all of them. I say faux, because I'm a terrible painter, but I know my way around Photoshop pretty well. Cost: $0 + whatever the cost was to print and frame it. I lucked out finding some images of Tulips, since those are Jen's favorite. Overall I was very happy with the result and so was Jen, which is the only opinion that mattered. Success! Anyway, here it is.
