My beautiful grandmother died September 16…it was so unexpected. I can remember spending summers with her as a child. She was the rock of the family, so strong, yet loving and kind. She was the first woman to show me that life could be full of possibilities as long as I put my mind to it. She was rooted deep in our old traditions from table manners to making her own make up from flowers. As a child, staying with her in the summer, I rememeber her waking us up with fresh hot coffee, mostly milk and sugar, but she would milk the goats and make the coffee and bring to us in our beds. She will live in my heart forever.
I was mourning my Grandmother and my heart was aching. This painting came thru me from my grief and loss of an amazing woman in my life. It helped me release the pain of loosing her. "Rootless" oil on canvas 36x24". Sold to private collector.
