Happy Mother's Day

As many of you know, my Mother passed away earlier this year.  She was 93 years old and lived a full life.  I do miss her, however I realize that her passing is part of the mystery of life.  I know she is in the best place, and her goodness will always remain inside of me.  I am in the process of painting a portrait of my Mother and thought today would be a good day to share the progress.

I am working from this photo...


And here is my painting...



As you can see, I have a long way to go! 
Hopefully I will have it complete by next Mother's Day:)

Happy Mother's Day to all my Creative Friends!

  6. My mother is my anchor in this life and I hope that someday, when we encounter that mystery, I will be able to think of her passing in this way too-a blessing and a reward for her diligence and mindfulness throughout her life.
    LOVE THIS!
