“Bucketful of Love” Watercolor 11×14
A Bucketful of Love.
How much love can a bucket hold?
When it’s holding a little girl, who happens to be your granddaughter, it is definitely overflowing!
Last weekend, I was “helping” one of my daughters-in-law and her sisters get ready for the upcoming wedding of one of the sisters.
As we worked in the barn where the reception will be held on a sweltering hot day, I had the “job” of entertaining my granddaughter so the girls could work.
Once we found a couple buckets of water, we were busy for hours, made a huge mess, and had a bucketful of fun!
I am not a great portrait painter, and I didn’t do my little cutie justice, but it was fun to try, and since it’s #WorldWatercolorMonth, I thought I’d share.
Bucketsful of Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi
the creative life in between 
Awesome… I love this

Oh Gary – she is so much cuter than I painted her, but it was fun trying! She became a big sister this week, so we have been very busy and distracted. She was at our house for 2 1/2 of the best days of my life 🙂 ❤ and then I took her home and got to hold her new little sister for hours this afternoon. My heart is so full. ❤

The main thing in this case was that you and your grand-daughter were having barrels (buckets) of fun, while helping others to prepare for a wedding. The portrait shows how much fun you had fooling around with buckets. Best wishes! Peter
