This is a large cradle board I did a short while back! It always starts out as one thing and ends up completely different! I loved the evolution of Kristens painting, you can check it out here!
It sits in my downstairs powder room. I'm hoping it inspires thought! I know if you stand for nothing you'll fall for anything! So " What do you stand for?" I purposely left out the question mark!
Here is a view sitting on the commode! Funny how the two photos
show completely different tone of turquoise! This is more the likeness.
I've always stood for children, animals and abused women! Giving them a voice when they didn't have one. Often getting me in trouble for speaking up! I called the SPCA on a neighbor when I was in my twenties because he left his dog tied up while on holidays! I was furious! I have been a confidante when children have needed someone they could trust. Sometimes I've had dilemmas knowing I needed to speak up but couldn't for safety reasons! Thankfully blogs are a nice outlet to be heard!
I know this is a paint party Friday, and I should stay on a happy note, but some how
I have contacted the flu so I'm late posting. Who has the flu in June? It's a chest cold, with chills and fever! My daughter and her husband have been so awesome, they made me delicious homemade chicken soup, and brought me piles of blended cold drinks, and medicine! Keep checking on me as I stay in my room, contaminating only the upstairs! I'm wishing myself well soon!

Happy PPF and I hope you feel better soon. Loving your sign and what a great place to keep it.... Annette x

ReplyDeleteThis is a great idea. And you put it in a spot that you will see first thing in the morning and the last thing in the evening. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteYour painting is great! And it looks perfect sitting over the door.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you're not feeling so good but it sounds like you're getting a bit of pampering. Get lots of rest and enjoy all the homemade goodies.
I like your sign and what it stands for!
ReplyDeleteWonderful sign! I love the sentiment behind it. Beautiful colors you chose here. Glad to have found you! LOVE your art! Happy Paint Party Friday! Hope you feel better soon. :)
ReplyDeleteThe sentiment of this is cool. You crack me up with the view from the can :)
ReplyDeleteOf course you are right, if you stand for nothing at all, then how the hell can you know who you are?
