Painting Heritage

I have a fascination of my Norwegian Heritage. Despite being allergic to cold temperature (It's True!), I love Norway.  When I was young I received my first rosemaling piece. I still have it.

It's broken, but I would never throw it away.  I always liked my pieces, but never had an interest in painting. That is until I saw this.....

Last week I took my first class in rosemaling, and Today I'm painting my first piece! I'm too excited! I can't wait to paint something like this:

Very whimsical, huh?
