My mother

Picture
This is a painting of my mother from a small black and white photo taken in 1952 when she was 16. In the photo i am a baby propped on
her knee.
The painting is in oil and is 24" x 24". When I came across the old photo last week I knew I had to paint it. My mom died when I was 11 and painting her was like examining her soul. Mine, too. I hope I've done her justice.

    me...

    I describe myself as a seeker. I try to always be growing and learning, and to be making contributions - to give back. I believe strongly in the 'pay it forward' approach to life. Every smile, every kind act, is a ripple that carries forward and affects others. If nothing else, be kind.
