Treasures #2- Original Artwork

Here is installment number 2 in the Treasures series in my home. I hope you know that my greatest treasures are my children but these are the things we have that I treasure.

I have been blessed in my life to be surrounded by talented artists and I have 5 original pieces of art in my home. I love being surronded by beautiful things, it brings me such joy to see them throughout my home.



My brother Nik, drew this for me and gave it to me for Christmas in 2004. My mom framed it for me and gave it to me for my birthday in 2006. I love the way it is framed, I love and cherish the little boy that is pictured. It was made with love and I just love it. My brother is really talented, I am really lucky to have this from him. It hangs on my wall so you can see it when you walk in the front door



Nik painted and gave this to Kersten and I for our wedding almost ten years ago. Penguins are my favorite animal and look at this adorable penguin on his mom or dad's feet. We keep this painting in the kids room. They love that it is a baby.


This painting is smaller than it looks and hangs in the hallway between my front room and kitchen. Kersten's mom painted it and gave it to Kersten before we were married. It was one of his favorites that his mom has done.



Monika F*, Kersten's mom painted this for us for our wedding gift and framed it for us. It has been in my home since the beginning. I love the view she chose of the Salt Lake Temple. It hangs in our front room with two big photographs of us at our bridals and groomals. Kersten came with me for pics in my dress. I love this picture and all it reminds me of.



This painting was done by Monika F* my mother in law. Christel earned it and framed it and gave it to me for Christmas in 2006. I love the beach and it brings me peace as I look at it. This picture hangs in our kitchen where I can see it all the time.
