After my mother passed away some time ago, my dad never did remarry and I never asked him why as he was a very private man. Even though he dated a few ladies over the years I came to believe one of the reasons was that there just never was a woman for him who could compare to my mom. It inspired me to paint this scene of him walking the beach with her accompanying footsteps close beside. It's an even more precious painting to me since he passed away not long ago. I was truly blessed to have had two wonderful and caring parents.

Your art is wonderfull to know...I noticed you live in Spring Hill, we are neighbours. If you do not mind me asking, where did you go to school and what inspired you in coming up with your style? Thank you, very much.Kerra Lindsey 26 Mar 2007
