Fifty Years and Counting!


This family tree was created in honor of a couple who recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary.  Being that I've only been married 4 years I find that number quite impressive!
What was also impressive was the amount of effort, care, and concern the youngest child, who happens to be an old childhood friend, put in to making this gift happen.  It's not easy trying to get four other older siblings to agree on colors and design and every other detail that goes into creating a piece of artwork!  But they did it, and hopefully everyone will be pleased with the result.





The tree is made from canson paper, cut with a knife and mounted on a 20 x 24 in. canvas.  The canvas is painted with acrylic paint.

  
The writing is done in Indian ink and the edges are highlighted in gold paint.

 
Here's to another 50!  Mazal tov!
