...of relaxation looking at it.

As I think I commented in an earlier thread about a different painting of your hubby, I am envious of your talent - I can paint walls.

I do think there must be some genetics involved in many skill sets. I used to play the piano reasonably well, and likely could do so again if I were to put in the effort to practice. I can dance. I play handbells. I have no ability create anything even remotely representational.

To you!!!
