Happy Mother's Day

So my mom is one of those ladies who has everything she needs, and buys everything she wants. For mother's day, I am left with trying to give her something that is special, but functional. That practical side of me is something I cant help. I began to mentally look around my parent's house and find things that could be updated or refreshed. Oh and we live 2+ hours away, hence the mental review. My eyes quickly came to a little clock that my mom probably bought for her kitchen back when it was blue and white and had the country duck patterned wallpaper. Now you know what I am talking about....this decor was all the rage in the 90s. The clock was located in their kitchen on the back side of their island's hood. Before I thought about how much she would miss that little country clock, I proceeded to develop an idea for a personalized painting that helped to describe the importance of the kitchen space. Check it out!

One of a kind...

So have you ever been at the store looking for just that perfect piece to put into your home only to find that you can't find something the right size, the right colors, unique enough? In an effort to get in touch with my creative side, I decided to try to make my own art. I ended up coming up with a few things that I found to fit our "man/family/game room" motif perfectly. I just wonder what the market is for something like this?
