The birth of a painting

A painting starts with a concept or idea, sometimes a desire to honor another. This painting began its life as a desire to honor one parents. These are the parents of a client who follows my work on facebook. This will be a Christmas present for his parents who have been together over 50 years.

Grandma's cards

Grandmas are God’s gift to young women, they love us unconditionally. Grandmas have a free hand from the day to day molding that helps us grow; they get to just love us. This artist remembers her Grandma as a feisty little woman who was just less than 5’ tall. She loved marigolds and had them planted all around her home. My Grandma really was no more remarkable than any other Grandma, but to me she was the strongest symbol of proof that I was loved. No matter where I roamed my dearest Grandma would find me and make sure that I got that birthday card. God welcomed her home a few years ago and I must say that I truly miss those cards.
This is me and my grandma Mildred Moulton, I painted this in honor of her and love she always sent to me on this day!
