Can I just say how much these girls mean to me? I have never been closer to a group of women and it completes me. They're my family.
 It was Shauna's (girl on far right) birthday and I was determined to paint her something in less than 3 days.
 Believe it or not, this was the longest part... trying to figure out chevrons and also trying to draw straight lines on curved surfaces.
 Ahh, success.
 And then Ethan came along, with dry brush in hand and made me cry like a baby. Luckily I was able to turpentine the birds off and start them over without damaging the chevron background.
The finish product, done by 3pm and then given to her at 8pm... just in the nick of time. :)

P.S. The inspiration for the painting came from one of my favorite scriptures, Pslams 84:3.
Yea, the sparrow hath found an house, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may lay her young, even thine altars, O LORD of hosts, my King, and my God.
