And this was the wedding present for Collins and Alex that I waited to post.  I presented it to them at the rehearsal dinner Friday night.  It was hanging on the wall all wrapped up (thanks to Les who snuck away to wrap it without them seeing it).  Then later in the night when I spoke, I let them know that it had been hanging in honor of their marriage that night and asked them to reveal it from behind the paper.  Happy marriage to Mr. and Mrs. Peavy!  

The wedding has happened now but this post did not make it up the other day before the wedding festivities began.  And this is what I had already written for this post.  

Post Date: July 27th... "Since the last post, I have been between home and Wilmington, but I am officially set up here in Wilmington right now because we are down to the week now of my sister's wedding.  These are some paintings that were requested of me to paint by my mom to give as gifts for people that are helping out with the wedding.  I love how they turned out.  Although I have painted the crab before and a seahorse, I have not done the sailfish before and it is one of my new favorite paintings.  I also have done another one, but it cannot be revealed until after the wedding."
