Tiny and Precious


Tiny and Precious
5 x 7 watercolor


A new baby is like the beginning of all things-wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.



Eda J. Le Shan

There's just something special about a brand new baby. Something quiet but wonderful that you feel just by being near them. Lately I find myself (lately? Okay, if lately means the last ten years, then lately it is.) inexplicably drawn to them.

And their tiny and precious little feet. 

Oh, and yesterday I went out looking for a landscape to inspire me, then I spent some time researching some of my favorite landscape artists for more inspiration.

And I'm feeling verrrry excited about this.

This could be a whole lot of fun.

  5. Brand new babies are the best! When our kids were tiny, my husband and I would argue over who got to hold the baby. Love the little foot. I want to reach out and touch it.

  14. Yesterday in church, a little baby kept reaching over and pulling on my sleeve. I loved it, even though her mom was embarrassed. :)
