STILL LIFE

I am so excited to share with you our latest art acquisition!

It's such a great story!

In our county, there is a little town called

Pringle-Morse

the 2nd grade class of 8 displayed their artwork in April

at the Hansford County Library

I so admire a teacher who knows how important art is

to the right side of the brain!

to the parents of the children who will cherish their sweet creativity forever

and to the communities who love to support the kiddos in all endeavors

especially ART!

I went to do a story on the art for the HPO

and was particularly drawn to this row of still life--

it was placed below a larger than life oil painting of the 

Battle of Adobe  Walls

by

Hansford County Artist Gwynfred Lackey

I fell in love with the colors, and everything else about everyone of them!

so I contacted Mr. Hargis...the superintendent, to see if they were available for purchase

(side smiley note to Mr. Hargis...his older sister Charla used to baby sit me and then when I was older I babysat Mr. Hargis....I love to call him Mr. Hargis!)

He forwarded my email to Mr. Beck, who I did not baby sit but could have,

and he told us his class was interested to make him them an offer...

we did

 Mr. Beck said his class was 

THRILLED!!!

but the story gets even more wonderful

their beloved Miss VeAnn's cancer has returned

so the pink firetruck came to Morse and surprised her at the spring concert

her older son Reese, whom she had not seen in a while, hopped out of the firetruck and removed his cowboy hat to show he had cut his hair for Locks of Love to be donated in his mother's honor

(are those tearful freckled faces not such a blessing???)

all the money raised went to help this sweet family

including the money the 2nd grade class made on selling their artwork

to 

me and Mr. PV

I cannot begin to express how much this story has touched us

it has touched us in a way that we will forever share

gosh I love America

and small town life!

PURA VIDA!
