Russell Crowe - by my wife :)

"Click on Image to enlarge"

To say that my wife is talented is an understatement. What most don't realize however is that she does NOT understand this fact. She can draw, cross stitch, sow, paint, cook, write, and much much more. The list of her talents goes on and on.

Soon hopefully I will be able to show you a completed cross stitch that she is currently trying to finish...it will be fun to unveil.

In this drawing the one thing that really pops out in my mind are his eyes. Russell Crowe has eyes that are shared only by a select few Benjamin Mckenzie. This picture was drawn from the soundtrack cover to the emotional movie Gladiator. Many since have tried to capture the magic that made that movie so heartfelt and bittersweet, but none have succeeded.

I finally decided to take the time to use my HP all in one scanner and VIOLA! It is so easy and incredibly fun to use, scan, save, and do basically whatever I need to do. If I would have realized this, I would have done this months ago when I bought it. If there's one thing HP got right, it was the ease of use on their products.

I'm glad I could share this drawing with everyone who frequents this blog. It is a drawing that demonstrates one of the many special abilities that helps me realize everyday why I love my wife so very much.

To my wife, I raise my cup in homage to your ever expanding talents that you love to hide from the world. May we all be as modest as you are, while carrying a smile that warms the heart, always welcoming back those that have fallen by the wayside on this journey we call life. Me :)
