Me-Now-Views; The Variations
This Thursday would have marked my mother's 86th birthday. Most of our artistic talent (all we Mac sibs have skills) arose from her genes, we feel. She was always appreciative of our efforts but was also pretty good at constructive criticism. I recall she particularly liked this piece... mainly because it incorporated one of her own favourite mediums - weaving!

ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely thing to remember your mother by. Yesterday was the fourth anniversary of my mother's death. No artistic skills from either parent in my case I'm afraid!

Such a lovely memory, and what wonderful textures and contrasts in this piece!!
ReplyDeleteNice to have someone in your life that encouraged and appropriately critiqued creativity. Women in my family passed on knitting, crochet, sewing....and it stopped at that.
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet memory to go along with your lovely artwork.
ReplyDeleteInteresting combination of your works. Lovely, namaste, janice xx
