” Inspirational People” is the theme over at The Three Muses this week.
One of the most inspirational people I have ever met is my husband of 28 years (no he’s not that young, that’s how long we’ve been married).
Mr Magpie is quite a guy
Thanks to Carmen Dyson for the leather watchband, it was the perfect touch for the bottom of my wooden arch!
“Kindness is an inner desire that makes us want to do good things even if we do not get anything in return. It is the joy of our life to do them. When we do good things from this inner desire, there is kindness in everything we think, say, want and do.” ~Emmunuel Swedenborg

Ohhhhh…I do love this. He’s such a hottie! The watchband at the bottom is soooo perfect.
Yes, a hottie he is – and he doesn’t look a day older than 27. How wonderful that he is still your most inspirational person after 28 years. I love your artwork – the arch, the transparent background. Absolutely fantastic.
What a wonderful warm tribute to your hubby- lovely collage!
Patty, your husband must be very pleased – you have made such a great artwork about him! It’s very original, very handsome and masculine – great piece with great details!
Patty you have done your husband proud with this beautiful and original arch collage. He must be a great guy. Well done.
I love newsprint incorporated into an art piece. It sets off this arch very well. How great that you still have such strong feelings for your husband after 28 years. Thank you for sharing your personal thoughts.
Very nice acknowledgement of your love for your husband. Cheers!
Patty, this piece is super! What a great way to honor your “Main Squeeze” and inspiration!!! Sounds like you’ve got an awesome relationship and are still in love. Good for you!!! He must be a heck of a guy!!! Hugs, Terri
It’s a fun and happy way to show your inspiration!!!
Wow this is stunning.
Fantastic design. Love them.
Patty – your husband looks very friedly.
The arch is wonderful.
First, you made me smile with that hunk wearing a crown, and, then, of course, tears came to my eyes when I read your heartfelt words about your husband. You are one lucky lady, but then he’s a lucky fellow to have someone like you!
Great tribute to your husband, Patty!
Wonderful tribute to your husband.
there is nothing better than realizing that you made the BEST choice when you said yes to “that” man (or woman, I suppose) … congrats on 28 years of still finding yours inspirational.
Great arch art! My husband wears his hair the same way (invisible!)
What a handsome guy he is, Patty, lovely tribute to your one & only!
oh, i think this is so wonderful! everything balances so perfect and the colors draw you right in. what a fine tribute to your handsome husband! so…that means you’re a queen then, right?
A very nice inspirational tribute all wrapped up in one bundle to honor your very own JJJ. I loved reading it and it came together very nicely in this arch.
Swedenborg was so right about kindness
What a great tribute to your Mr Magpie! Awesome piece and I love the use of the watch strap
Great piece! I’m sure Mr. Magpie is very proud.
Psst, you guessed right on mine, it is Elvis.
You are soooo welcome Patty. Love how you used the band. Marlynn had good things to say about you today. We all do.
A perfect tribute to your smashing husband!! As you say – the watchband is such a clever touch ; at first I thought it was a belt and your arch was enormous!!!

Perfect! Great arch and so good to place your husband on this piece! Love it!
Hugs Hanne
I LOVE the watch band at the bottom. In fact I love the whole arch art. And, what are you doing up at 12:59 am, girl, leaving posts. Love it. You are the best!
This is truly beautiful. Mr. Magpie is as lucky as you. 28 years is true tribute to your love, especially in this day and times. The watchband spoke to my sense of recycling, too. You manage to do more with “junk” than anyone I know.
Congratulations are in order for being married that long these days. You are both lucky…love your blog!!
Patty, what a great inspiration! Your husband sounds like a keeper! Congratulations on 28 years of bliss.
Lucky you!! Fantastic arch, great tribute.
He may not be 28 Patty but he sure is handsome
I think this is so touching , I can feel the love and I bet he cut out that wooden arch for you didn’t he?
Thanks for your welcome to Blogland and for your kind comments on my first attempt. I love your “inspirational person”. How lucky you are to have such a treasure in your life – and a good looker too!
What a great tribute piece Patty. The watchband is PERFECT for this!! Isn’t it great to have your best friend around all the time??
xo,
Gaye
How wonderful, you are both very lucky!! All the best!

Oh Mr Magpie looks very handsome ! He must be thrilled and very proud that he is the subject of your art
Great piece Patty!! what a lovely tribute, I think you and your darling Mr Magpie are a perfect match! Mx
this is just so wonderful! i love your painting in the background and especially the leather “belt”….
What a handsome king you have there! He reminds me a lot of my own DH.
We are blessed……
I am honored by this tribute from my liebling!!!
I loved the Swedenborgian saying… we visited a Swedenborgian church in Palos Verdes, CA, and it does reflect the honest beauty here in this tribute to your husband. Christen
28 years — that’s an accomplishment — he sounds like quite an “inspirational” guy! I love the piece — beautifully executed!
