Emily at Chatting At The Sky is hosting a linky party today called Glimpses of Home. The idea is to post images of things in your home that make it feel like “home” to you. Not necessarily the decor itself, but the objects or memories within the home that make your home a haven for your family.
I love our artwork. Many of the pieces have been with us since the beginning of our marriage, and through several moves. For our family, the art we surrounded ourselves with is very meaningful to us. Most of it is original pieces, painted by people we love. Some things have been given to us as gifts. We treasure the thought and friendship behind those gifts more than the gift itself. And everytime we look at those pieces, we are reminded of the friends God has gifted us with. Some of our pieces were done by my little artists at home. These are some of my favorite pieces of art! I would rather have that kind of artwork covering my walls than paintings by those whom the world considers to be masters.





Our artwork might not pass for approval from someone who has a keener eye for art than I do. But we love it, and it is part of the haven we are trying to reate for our family. Goodness knows, when you buy a house with plans of renovating, you need some signs of “home” that make your place comfortable. Our art is one of those comforts.
“Blessed is the man who fears the Lord, who finds great delight in His commands… wealth and riches are in his house.” Psalm 112:1 and 3a
This is an absolutely delightful post! You make your home sound like an art gallery…I love it. 🙂
I love childhood art. We kept a lot of our kids' in binders and still get them out and oo and ah. I can still picture one of my neice's drawings of a crayoned face (with a big teeth smile) and the arms coming out where the ears should be! sweet. nothing better!
I LOVE your art! We have that same art too! Well not same, but you know what I mean!
I love your art!!!! I have framed some of my children's art for our walls. It means so much to them to have their own works of art on the walls and it is precious memories to me. I have really enjoyed visiting your site! What a great post!!!
It is all beautiful but the piece that really caught my eye and made me smile is the piece that was done for the homeschool art show. The colors, the design. It could be your blog banner or button. Loved it.
Such a sweet post! Love your daughter's creations.
