My first piece of original art. October 10, 2007
These are our friends Brad and Candace.
They are awesome. This is the story of Brad and Candace and the painting.
We had a big fat housewarming party Saturday night. Brad and Candace came to the party. Earlier that day, they had gone to Goodwill to find a funny housewarming gift for us. They couldn’t find anything.
Not wanting to show up empty handed, Brad, a high school art teacher, decided to make something for us. What did he make?
This.
He painted that Saturday afternoon for us. To bring to the party that night. They could have just bought some flowers or something. Instead they did something crazy awesome.
I feel so cool having original art in my house. That was painted just for us.

I can’t imagine being able to just whip up a painting.
My husband can, though, so we have original art in our house. It’s such a fun feeling.
