Another painting by our daughter, Xhiv. This one was sold to our dear friends Aaron and Marian Thompson.

I like so many things about this painting; the vibrant colors, fresh flowers, the weathered face of a woman who seems to be praying her work.

The title intrigues me as well; The Beautiful Burden. It invites me to see the many responsibilities I shoulder in a new light. Maybe they are, all of them, beautiful burdens.
