An Irish Blessing

May you always walk in sunshine
May you never want for more
May Irish angels rest their wings
Right beside your door.

Actually, my husband came home today and asked me to draw something "Celtic" as a baby shower gift for one of the ladies at work.

"An Irish blessing maybe. And some Celtic knots."
"And when do you need this by, husband?"
"Uhhh... tomorrow."

You know that feeling you get when your kids had a huge school project and didn't tell you until 8 PM the night before it was due? Yeah... I had flashbacks.

So with one failed sketch because I couldn't decide on a border...

I finally thought I just needed to keep it kind of simple. You know - the K.I.S.S. theory:

Keep It Simple, Stupid

So here's the piece with no color, which is how I actually prefer it:

And here it is with some color accents, which is what hubby likes:

I'd be interested in knowing your opinion.
Black & White or Color?

And here I am posing with the final piece so I can go to bed & do some reading! Tomorrow we buy a frame but I won't have pictures of that.
