There is something about a paint brush.

I think I have to preface this post with some history. A long time ago, I liked to paint. Not just walls, but images. But then I went to college and I learned that I was not an artist. At best what I did could be called folk art or illustration. So I stopped painting. Then, when I was pregnant with Sadie, I tried again. But kids and paint mix towards the wrong direction. So it has been a long time since I painted much. Some birds on a bathroom wall, maybe helping with a kindergarten art project, that's about it.
So, the other day, even though I had more than enough I should be doing, one thing led to another and I made this.
It is supposed to have the look of vintage flash cards. I really like it, even though I am clearly not a fine artist. So here are the details of the letters; because I may not paint for another ten to fifteen years.
