The Universe (as I see it)

A Painting to Celebrate

Desi and I have made a wonderfully artistic tradition. Every January 14th, the anniversary of us starting to date, we make a painting together. Last year’s was the first oil painting I ever made, even in part, and it turned out great. This year we tried something a little different. I painted the bottom and Desi painted the top, and then we overlapped and contributed to the whole. Enjoy!

And for those daring, here is a larger version. I actually took the photo in segments, and combined them in a vertical panorama. The full version is 54 megapixel, perfect to reprint it if we ever want to make a copy. :) What do you think of this tradition? I love it, and I am already looking forward to next year.

I love how it turned out for both and I must say that you have a gift not only with the camera with but also with the feeling for colors. Thank you for making this day an amazing memory.
