This piece of art was created by a woman who my dad knew briefly, after my mother passed away. She use to work with pen and ink. She made this composition for my dad, while sitting outside of the home I grew up in. Unfortunately, my father had to sell his house shortly after my mom died, because it was way too big for him to take care of on his own. This picture brings back many pleasant memories. One in particular being the chair that use to sit on the front porch. I remember my mom sitting in it while she was waiting for me to pick her up, so we could go out and about. The kitties walking on the side walk were both living at my father's at the time. The silver cat is Tessa who now resides with me and the black cat is Louis who now resides in Florida. I hope Louis is doing well. This picture now hangs in my house and I just love staring at it, so I can remember my childhood.
How wonderful to have this painting connected to your childhood memories. I am sure that your mother will smile upon you as you look at it, thinking how she was sitting in that chair to wait for you ...
ReplyDeleteHave a pleasant Tuesday,
Eva
And I'm glad you share it. Shared joy is double joy.
ReplyDeleteOne of the best thing living up in the north is the light. Now is the dusk beginning and the clock is 20:43.
And one of the worst is the darkness in the winter.
ReplyDeleteHello Eva, Thank you for your comment. I love this picture so much. The woman portrayed a day on my porch so well, with the kitties walking by and the chair in the corner. I'm sure my mother is pleased that I have this now hanging in my home.
ReplyDeleteHello Eric, This is such a joyful painting for me to look at. There is so much memory for me while viewing it. I'm happy the day is longer in your parts now. It's getting longer here too. I love it when daylight saving time kicks in, which I think happens around June.
ReplyDeleteLydia..how sweet of you to share this precious memory with us!
ReplyDeleteThat picture has to be one of your most prized possessions!
Hello Jan, I just got so excited when I was given this picture over the weekend, I had to share it with you all. It was sitting in my dad's storage unit, ever since he moved out of his house a few years ago.

ReplyDeleteHello Jamerson, I feel the same way as you do about art. All different forms of art can touch someone at a very deep level if we let ourselves focus on it, whether it be painting, writing, poetry, music or any other form of art. I tried to get onto your blog, but the page wouldn't display. I'll try again soon. Have a wonderful evening!
