What's on your wall Wednesday

Join us over at http://gritsglamour.blogspot.com/2009/06/whats-on-your-wall-wednesday.html for What's on your wall Wednesday. This is my first time to join in and I hope this is interesting enough to show.

This week I'm highlighting a small portion of my living room wall, it is on the long hall wall that extents into the living room and is kind of hard to decorate...because that is the only wall in the living room that can hold the old dresser that belonged to my Grandfather Moxie, it is a treasure I consider part of the wall hanging. There is a long narrow stripe of wall that needed something special...so......

For Christmas this past year I painted each of my boys and their wives a portrait of their little ones and for Keifer's Graduation I painted him a picture of himself and his Dad when he was about 2 yrs old. So I had prints made of each one, had them framed and matted and I placed them in a long plate rack and it just fit perfect. DH keeps telling me he is going to remove the space heater since we no longer need it, we had air and heat installed 9 yrs ago. But he keeps putting it off. He keeps say but what if we have another ice storm and loss power, what are we going to heat the house with? He does have a point......


These are the portraits of Keifer and Rissa and then Keifer and his Daddy on the bottom

The one on top is of Redman and Mo-Mo

On the right of the dresser is a collage of all 3 boys wedding pictures, but that is for another post.

Hope you enjoyed my first atempt at what's on your wall.

  1. Wow you're an amazing artist. I've been working on a painting for a while. A little bit at a time. Maybe one day I'll post it on What's on Your Wall-Wednesday.

  3. Nice portraits - they won't let me click on them to see the art work better, however! Looks good from far away, anyhow.

  7. Great paintings & first WOYWW post. In regards to the wall heater,tell hubby that looks trumps comfort. Just throw on a bunch of blankets if worse case scenario happens (but then I live in southern California so what do I know about cold). lol.
