This is a birthday present to my mother in law, we haven't given it to her yet so I'm counting on the fact that she looks at the computer only once in a while if at all. This was finished about a month ago and we've been so busy that there hasn't been enough time to get together to surprise her. It was very pleasing to paint this one because I love painting gifts and also remembering the stories and special times we had with this special lady full of history and pride.
