The Art of Remembering Those We Love
It's been a year since my mother passed away, and now these paintings mean more than ever. Anyone who's lost a mother knows how deeply those little reminders can touch your heart. Each piece holds a story of our shared love of nature and wildlife. How her eyes would light up when she'd spot deer in the forest near her home, calling me right away to share the news. My deer paintings became a special connection between us—capturing not just the animals we loved to watch together, but also her gentle spirit and the joy she found in nature's quiet moments.
Today, some of those same pieces she loved so much are finding homes with my daughters, creating a beautiful bridge between generations. From deer in the forest to horned toads and beetles on flowers, these pieces celebrate the love of nature that connects us all. Knowing these pieces are in their homes now, it's both bittersweet and comforting. I think of Mom and how she knew all along that art isn't just decoration - it's love made visible, memories captured in color and light. What piece of art in your home reminds you of someone you love? Maybe you have a special piece that holds memories of your own.
