Have you entered my giveaway?
---------------------------------
Yaya mentioned in response to my Christmas post that she would love to see the pictures my grandmother painted that B got framed for me for Christmas so I thought I would post them. My grandmother was an artist...she loved painting and anything crafty. These aren't even the best of the ones she did, but I am honored and happy to have them. Sorry the quality isn't the most amazing...the wrappers are still on them,! (And probably will be until we hang them up!).
This one is a pastel. The framing people thought the frame could be an antique (it was already framed), so all they did was clean it up, rather then put a new frame on it.
I really love the color of the water in this one.
Flowers.
I think these flowers look like iris'.
A farm in the winter time. I love this one. I especially love the birds. Here they are up close. :)
And those were my presents! Probably some of the most thoughtful I have gotten in a while. We just need to figure out the perfect places to hang them.

How special to have these. I have been looking for pictures to hang in my house and these would be great!
The iris is my favorite but I would hang any one of these.
Hang them proud they are awesome!
wow those pictures are beautiful! I would have hung them up too, especially with all the sentiment they have.
All my art in my house has a story behind it; like it was given to me from someone special, or a family member bought it for me on a trip, or someone I know painted them. I dont have any kitch art hanging and I hope to keep it that way. This kind of art I love not only because it's beatiful, but because it has a special meaning:)
Dropping by from sits. These are beautiful paintings. WHat a wonderful legacy.
I like the one by the water. It is like getting a hald of a story and you get to fill in the blanks. What a great gift from both your grandmother and your husband.
These are amazing! That was a great gift for sure. I like the winter one and pastel one but all of them are great!
Those are amazing!!! How special!
Santa spoiled you! They are lovely.
Wow! How lucky you are to have those! They ARE beautiful. And I DO love the antique frame. Is that a silver one or gold? If silver, they are harder to find and my favorite. I have one hanging on my wall with no picture in it. Just the frame, it's so pretty. Of course I'd love to have some artwork like you have!
