135 Untitled (Emilie Buck Lewis)
The person who commissioned it was collecting Heavenly Mother art to make an entire wall-full to surprise his wife for her birthday. Don’t you think that is such a thoughtful gift? She’s a lucky lady!! The portrait was inspired by his wife’s great-grandmother. He told me a sweet story about how she would sit at the open window with her sewing and whistle while the birds would sit outside and listen. She must have been a talented whistler. I could just hear her while I painted, so I put two little birdies on her collar so they could always listen, too
