Shelley: I finally found your blog again - so I thought I'd try to give you a better shot of Maddie's barn.

To the rest of you:
The story of this painting goes a little somethin' like this...

My friend Shelley is a painter. When Maddie was born I asked her to do a painting for me. I have always loved the prairie sky right before the rain comes. When it goes such a dark blue and the fields are so gold. This is how Maddie's eyes looked until they turned brown. This deep deep blue with a ring of gold. The red barn reminds me of a favorite spot I have on the highway between Calgary and S'toon. It's also garnet, Maddie's birthstone.

I love this painting and it's meaning. Thank you Shelley.
