Happy Mother's Day to everyone! I spent the day with my mom, taking her to her church she loves so much, then lunch where there's free WiFi and reading to her from my laptop all my blog posts from February forward. She doesn't use the computer and wants to see every painting and hear every word. Ahhh....a mother's love! Last night, in anticipating our day together, I spilled out her old buttons from her cold cream jar (remember cold cream?), found a pleasing arrangement and painted away. I love the color and abstract quality. Mostly, I love my mom. The photo below was taken of us on her 90th birthday last September. She's an amazing lady with a mind still sharp as can be!
I may not be able to post for a few days. My daughter-in-law and granddaughter are coming from Idaho for a few days. Lots of family fun up ahead!
I believe that in all houses there is a box with buttons.They have something special...it´s as if they were guarding part of the history of the family.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations for your painting and for a beautiful mother.
Love this painting and post. The buttons are fabulous. Sounds like your relationship with your mom is too. How fortunate you are to have her at 90. Know she is so proud of your beautiful work. Have fun with your family this week!
