One of My Favorite Things

Today's offering is of one of my favorite fruits, the cantaloupe. If it is ripe and sweet you can't beat the flavor. Anyway...this has always been one of my favorite paintings even though realism is not among my strong suits. I look forward to when the cantaloupes are worth eating again.

I hope each of you has a productive and/or restful weekend. I always look forward to sleeping in on Saturday mornings. More offerings will be forth coming next week.

Lovingly, Cindy

It's been a while since I've posted a daily offering. You know how life interferes with what we may want to do.

This particular painting was done several years ago from a note card I had picked up somewhere. Obviously, that means it was not my painting but copied from another person's work. I don't want to be considered a copyist or plagiarizer, but alas, I am and will be with several other paintings. My only saving grace with this blog is that I'm not charging for the painting. Hopefully, in the future, I'll only be doing my own paintings...as the Lord leads. ANYHOO...This painting is yours should you want it. Free. No kidding.

If any donations are sent to me, starting from now and continuing through the next few months, (I'm not sure how long) the money will be given to a women's counseling service, Women's Choice Resource Center, located in Fort Worth, which provides assistance to women who are struggling with being pregnant or in a crisis situation.

I am not politically correct. Abortion, to my way of thinking, is the killing of innocent children and we must do what we can to save them. Let's all pray for the wisdom to do the right thing in every area of our lives.

Prayerfully yours,
Cindy
