art in the family

Have you ever longed to visit a place.

Would you consider painting a place that you have never been?

I visited my Mother a few weeks ago and took some photos of her paintings which are happy, vibrant and full of life.

Funny, she painted Venice, although she has never even been.

I have been twice and I can feel the energy and joy in her work.

My Mother has always created with a real zest for life, exploration and self discovery.

Did I mention that my Mother had seven children.

She managed to find time to create art and raise a family full of personality.

Do you have art in your family or passionate artists that you admire?
