Celebrating 10 years!

My husband and I celebrated our 10th wedding anniversary back in June!  We decided ahead of time not to exchange gifts.  Earlier this month, a local art gallery was advertising "Couple Painting" and I couldn't resist. Thankfully, I was able to blackmail sweet talk my husband into participating, ya know, since we didn't exchange anniversary gifts!  

 

Step 1:  Painting the background...

Mine and his...

Step 2:  Drawing individual trees...

Step 3:  Adding the dots...

 

 Step 4:  Painting the black stripes...

We etched a heart with the number 10 at the base of the tree to symbolize 10 years of marriage! 

I absolutely LOVE the way our two paintings became one!  

 

 Our masterpiece to keep forever!  Here's to a lifetime of love!
