The "love letters" in my still life are from my husband to his little boys.  The photo in this still life is from the day that Brian left for his deployment.  I'm so glad I captured this moment.  Any time I looked at this photo during the first month Brian was gone I cried.  I'm very proud of my hubby sending is boys a letter, letter writing is not a strong suit of his:)  The glass globe is positioned to Afghanistan, and one of my favorite parts of the painting are the reflections of the star on the chrome airplane.  When I was drawing the composition, I was so caught up in capturing the shapes, I didn't even realize that the stars where there, a happy little revelation that came through as I was painting.
