Here is my beautiful Mother:
She is also a talented artist. One of the first memories I have of my Mother was a gloomy, rainy day in Pittsburgh when all three of us girls were little. We had been stuck inside all day and whined until Mom finally let us go out in our bright yellow slickers and matching boots. Mom said it was a perfect day to watercolor as the rain could do the mixing for us. We spend the rest of the soggy day happily painting. I painted a giant yellow sunflower and scrawled 'Diane" on the top in bright green. I still have this picture. It reminds me of that simple, happy day.
A few years ago, I wrote a poem for my Mother that sums up my feelings (the format/grammar are a little rough), but here it is.
Memories of my Mother
Are like shades of color
That wash over me.
Through an artist eyes
She taught me to see
The simple beauty in ordinary things.
They are forever painted
in my heart, and soul,
and memory.
The images of my Mother,
and the flowers, and the colors,
and the love she gave me.
Here are a few more pics of Mom:
