I have always knows that my wife had artistic skill. Over the years she has made some superb birthday cakes for the kids and she has also done some rather impressive doodles.
While she has been trying to take it easy folowing her operation, she decided to have a go at painting with water colours. She has got a really nice set that was her mom's, her mom having been a very good artist.
So, after reading a book about water colour techniques, my wife set up herself up to have a go.
The first attempt was better than I could have done.
True to character, my wife then decided to totally ignore everything in the book she had just read and decided to do it how SHE thought it should be done.
I must admit that I was very impressed by this - the photo is not as good as it could be, but I hope it gives an idea of what she did. Wish I had that sort of talent!

She did that after being off for a couple of WEEKS?!?! While she was recuping from surgery!?!?! And hadn't done it before?!?!?
Holy moley! Your wife is one talented lady!
I'm totally blown away - nice job Clare!
That is one of the coolest pictures I've ever seen!
It looks like one of those paintings that sell for huge amounts of money on E-bay.
Maybe you can get her to paint more, and then you can be a full time stay at home dad!
Wow, that's an amazing painting. She sure has talent!!!
holy crap! - That is what I call impressive!
I wish I could paint and/or water color too! It's the only medium I cannot work with. But your wife on the otherhand. . . . ! Fantastic work! I can't believe she's never done watercolor before. It is a hard medium to master.
Very nice! Very amazing!
