THIS is the reason I can celebrate Mother's Day. Twenty two years ago this sweet angel came into the world. On the first full day of his life, his dad took this photo. He sure looked happy to be here... I know we were !Periodically I would do a watercolor of him to hang over the mantle in his bedroom. Sometimes he would know I was painting it, but most often I would just change the picture in the frame and when he would go up to his room, a new painting would be there. I wish I had done more of them....here are the ones I did.
"Now can I eat this blue donut??"
"Now can I eat this blue donut??"
"yummy...these things are messy and they leak, but, boy, are they good!!"
"I want to be an artist,too, mom! Jackson Pollock, eat your heart out!"(FYI... he has turned out to be a fabulous, creative artist. He just amazes me.!)
"Here, dad, FETCH!"
"Mom always tells me to stop and smell the roses."
(Ok, ok, we know it's a tulip.)
"My first kitty, the Wiz."
Like us, he just loves his pussy cats.
"Don't bother me...."This painting is still on the wall in his room and the lighting isn't good and there are reflections in the glass, but you get the idea. Sunning on a beach in Haiti...part of a cruise.
Here are most of them together.....That's my boy, it's been a wonderful 22 years !!Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there. I hope you all have a wonderful day.
