Hello everyone!
Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there!
We took this photo with mom a few years ago,
at Old Orchard Beach, in Maine (USA).
Mother's day is never the same
once your mom is gone.
But thankfully, my 19 year old son reminds me
that the good memories are precious
and that there is still life to be lived.
For the past years, he gives me a card
and writes me a beautiful letter
and makes the day so much better.
that I finish my job this Tuesday,
and i am as giddy as a schoolgirl at a Justin Bieber concert.
the light at the end of the tunnel.
I can't wait to catch up with all of you out there.
It has been a difficult winter -
as you can see from the photos...
the days are getting longer
and the sun, warmer.
And my job - closer to being done!
and crooked picnic tables
and broken branches...
and spring is here
and summer is on the way!
This is our version of the Brooklyn Bridge...
Only one lane wide, no sidewalk, and you cross at your own risk. :)
and look at the lovely reflection.
I even got in a bit of art lately....with my crayola crayons.
with the crayolas...
kinda go wild with the scribbling.
and you feel like a kid again.
i'm done with this "acting like an adult" thing.
It's fucking boring. :)
You know you want to.
hehehehee...
My mom.
and look forward to seeing it develop.
She always celebrated Acadian day
on August 15th with friends & family
at The Pays de la Sagouine.
Mom loved people, loved music
and especially loved life.
So i'm painting this in her honour.
To remind myself that there is always
life to love.
(even if it's not always easy)

Happy Mothers Day beautiful lady! So glad you are seeing the light of day....or the should I say a smattering of Spring!! My hairdresser posted she was glad to yet have another Mothers day with her ill mom. She is cherishing each day! Glad you have a thoughtful son with a good heart! Your painting is wonderful... I know there is so much love in the work and can't wait to see it completed!! Love the crayon art too!! Be a kid.... you will have this feeling even more as you age... I am tempted to get dreadlocks and my septum pierced when I turn 60...but I won't ....lol I'll settle for some new glasses from zenni optical instead!!

DeleteCan't wait to see the painting of your mother when it's done...the first one, when you started it, I thought it was Angele, and then when I saw the red acadian vest, it actually brought tears to my eyes. She loved life...period!!!
