My wife Emily is talented in many ways, and being an artist is one of those ways. She loves to paint watercolors, and I think that she is very good at it. She has a personal blog where she sometimes posts photos of her watercolor paintings, but today she decided to create a blog dedicated to her artwork, called Art Endeavors. Each post is a brief description of one of her paintings along with a small photo.

When I met Emily, she was very shy about letting anyone see her paintings. Before we were married she lived in a small townhouse down the street from me, and in her garage she had a little desk set up where she painted. I was visiting one day and we went into the garage to look for something. I noticed the watercolors on the desk and complemented her on her painting. She immediately stepped in between me and the desk and began turning over her paintings so I couldn’t see them. So for her to put up this new blog, publishing her paintings to the world, is evidence of the freedom she now feels. And I think that her freedom is reflected in her art. And I am proud of her.
