An Unusual Request

I traveled to Richmond, VA. last weekend with my neighbor friend Maureento visit her Aunt Sis.
While there, my artistic services were requested to paint a shamrock on Aunt Sis' funeral box
(a wooden box that will hold her ashes when she dies).
How unusual, right? But I was certainly honored to be asked.
Especially for such a spunky cute gal like Aunt Sis. She is a delight.

Above is Aunt Sis in the middle, her neices Maureen from Maxeys on the left
and Maureen's sister Rita Anne from Maryland on the right.

The box itself is an antique (pine I think).
She said she would just stick some shamrock decals on it,
but don't you think it's more special being painted?
See how cute she is?
She said, "It's so pretty! I can't wait to get in there!".

I really enjoyed hanging out with her. She is opinionated, quirky, and very animated, some of my favorite qualities in a friend. And loves cocktails and sweets, what fun!
