return on creativity: my first art project

I am totally comfortable creating crafty projects for my house, but I've always been reluctant to create anything that might be considered "art".  I'm an accountant for heaven's sake, not an artist. 

But I had a project, a vision really, that was stuck in my head and I couldn't get it out.  I had to create it. 

It's wood and paint...

...and glue and nails.

I cut and painted...

...and sanded and pounded.

I love this art/craft project for so many reasons.  Some are hard to explain.  Not the least reason is that my husband helped me go to Home Depot to buy supplies and happily cut out wood blocks for me to paint.  He was totally supportive and didn't question what I was up to.  I didn't expect him to do that.  I love him so much.
