New Painting by Carly Heying - greets clients at the door of Life Song
Isn’t this pretty? It is my new painting by local artist Carly Heying. She’s lovely, and she greets clients as they come in the door to Life Song. I’ll have some cards of this painting to sell soon – they’d be lovely for blessingway invitations, thank you cards, etc.
Thanks, Carly!
