Today Richard and I went over to cat sit at our friends’ house. I was headed into the kitchen to greet the fat fluffball, Eris, but Richard stopped me and turned me towards the wall next to their Christmas tree. There was a folded up blanket hanging on the wall. I didn’t know what I was suppose to be looking at. I finally figured out I was supposed to take the blanket off whatever it was covering…
(painting by Bend, OR artist Mark Rada)
He had bought me a painting of crows and power lines when he was in Bend recently for the national cyclocross championships. I burst into tears. I haven’t done that since he proposed to me. Crows and power lines… two of my favorite things!
If you guys think buying jewelry or clothes for a girl is risky, imagine how risky it is buying art for an artist. But he did it anyway! And I freaking adore it!
Bew hew, I still want to cry whenever I look at it… I don’t know why. I feel humbled by his love.
