My husband has 6 more weeks till retirement so I watercolored his
Truck for his invitation for a retirement party.
Was feeing so worried about retirement but
Kamala has given me hope!
= new reply since forum marked as read
Hoping Kamala makes the highway a little easier!And yes the Hope is so welcomed!
Ebemmoreso with retirement!
But I quickly realized how much stuff is on his truck.
Glad he does not have to work the dreaded winter ever again! All hours!
I'm getting excited!
both look perfect.
I spent the day doing it but I think I did a good job!
Sarah Cray is very good. I learned a few things from her. Diane Antone was my first watercolor.
Try one. does some easy stick looking birds.
A circle and legs.
This is roughly the sort of thing I want to try to do
Sarah Cray and Diane Antone look very good and close to what I'm going for.
I've done oil, acrylic, pastel, ink & digital
Ink and pen, that I got turned on to by artists painting in a city street, appealed the most but as I said, life happened
your skills to work.
Wished he could have too. Thank you for the well wishes. It's been a long time waiting on him.
Damn Republicans, we should've been done years ago
Just six more weeks!!!!
I went back to work and watched my neighbors losing their houses. Went back to school and got myself a job at pharmacy.
He lost his job slightly after mine had to go back to school to get a CDL. After 31 years in a factory.
Both in our 50s, having a reinvent ourselves was horrible. I was dreading the thought of all those years worked and might not even get our Social Security but I'm feeling a little more hopeful now. Pray Kamala gets it.
good to see the Republican base sinking.
I don't think either of us could endure another setback.
Feel like a rockstar
Hope the party is fun! 
and thoughtful! Happy retirement for both of you
So much!
My husband was antsy about retirement as well, didn't know what he was going to do with himself. But he's eased into it. Before we moved out of Tennessee, my mother-in-law moved in for the last 2 years of her life. Having my husband home and having another set of hands and shoulders was a God send.
Things seem to happen for a reason. It'll shake out and in awhile you'll wonder why you were ever worried.
Enjoy!
Is on self destruct!
Looking forward to good things under Kamala and Tim
I'm confident you'll both enjoy post-retirement. Hats off to you, your husband, and all workers who make this country go!
I’ll bet he is thrilled with it and loves that you painted it for him! You did a great job, lots of detail and you got it just right!
It's a surprise. Thanks Diamond Dog. Hope he likes it'
We both need a paint session together!
I’ll bet you can’t wait to see his face when he sees it!
It's close enough!
I bet he loves it. Retirement is pretty good once you get used to it.
