Artist Reply: Thanks so very much Sara for your wonderful comment..sorry I just now saw this and wanted to thank you. I had some health problems but am better now.
What a wonderful tribute, and just a perfect picture! They are always in our hearts, and only a memory away!
So beautiful.
Artist Reply: Thank you so much Sharon. This is always well received in shows and competitions. It truly to me is a work of art and a true honor to my mother.
A very wonderful photo, Sandra.... and a very special way to remember your mother. I lost my mother long long ago also.... I was only 21, and she was only 47.
Artist Reply: Thanks so much Julie. I was 21 also. I appreciate your encouragment. You are a wonderful artist with such sensitivity.
What a wonderful floral, I love the color, reminds me of my Mom also. She loves this color and once painted her whole kitchen in this hue!!! God bless you and comfort you in your loss. I can't imagine.
Artist Reply: Thank you so very much for your wonderful words.
Sandra, this, I think, is one of the most beautiful flowers I have ever seen!!! The color and your capture is absolutely awesome!
Artist Reply: Thank you Sharon. It was just lieing on a park bench in a tulip garden. Still so beautiful. My mother was still so beautiful when she passed away at 56. I hope it honors her memory. I appreciate your kind words and for stopping by.
