A Graduation Gift

A friend of mine had a great idea for a personalized graduation gift for the daughter of a close friend, so she commissioned me to carry it out. Three small paintings of important places in the recipient's life. The steeple is from the summer camp she has gone to her whole life. The tower is part of the church she grew up in. And the cupola is at the University she will attend. The family happens to be close friends of mine as well, so that made it an extra-enjoyable project for me.

This is a BEAUTIFUL idea! Makes me want to commission a similar project including the steeple of the church where Steve and I were married.

What a great idea! I cold see this being done for many 3s: toys, houses, gardens, vacation spots, schools, cars, etc. You're on to something! And, nice pieces, too!

I'm sure this will be cherished for a lifetime.
Plus they're done by David Westerfield a very
memorible important artist.

I love the idea of mounting the three paintings in a mat.
