vernon

well...a much better day for photos..... thanks so much for putting up with my silliness about the furniture I create! Some of them do speak and not because I'm crazy ...they just do..... and so, I want to formally introduce you to "vernon".

I have a sweet story to tell on vernon.... as I was painting away I noticed a faint pencil scribble on the inside of the right door and as I moved closer to see, it was this powerful line......"vernon stewart.. honor before death". I stood there glued to the floor, tears in my eyes, my fingers gently touching the words and thinking about vernon...who he was, and how amazingly courageous he must have been. I struggled with painting over these words, but then reminded myself that just because I {or you} cannot see them anymore they are still there, forever etched on this piece and my heart. I will make sure to tell the story to whoever buys this piece so that vernon and his legacy won't soon be forgotten!

Oh..... and I decided to add a little something extra on the inside.... {things}....xo
