Eyes So Blue


"Eyes So Blue"

10 x 14 watercolor


"Where did you come from baby dear?
Out of the everywhere, into the here.
Where did you get your eyes so blue?
Out of the sky when I came through.
What makes your forehead so smooth and high?
A soft hand stroked it as I went by.
What makes your cheek like a warm, white rose?
Something better than anyone knows.
Where did you get that pearly ear?
God spoke, and it came out to hear.
How did they all just come to be you?
God thought about me and so I grew.
But how did you come to us Baby Dear?
God thought of you, and so I am here."
 -George MacDonald

 
A painting of my baby, when he was just a baby. This one is very dear to my heart.

    This is the most heart-meltingly exquisite painting. Such a beautiful, bonny baby. There are no words Crystal - really, there aren't!

    I wish I could paint! Maybe someday I'll be a great painter and I'll look back and say that Crystal Cook inspired me to paint. He's beautiful.
