Happy Mother’s Day to my wonderful Mom!
She has been my biggest support and continues to be my greatest cheerleader.
(Plus she makes an awesome sitter for portraits.)
My mother has always encouraged me in the arts.
She would take me to the National Gallery of Art in Washington, DC when I was growing up and let me peruse the rooms filled with paintings.
My mother taught me the basics of drawing and would encourage my imagination.
She continues to help me on my artistic journey.
Thank you Mom for being there for me through it all.
You are not only my mom but my best friend.
I love you!
Lovely post, you are lucky to still have your mom to support you. Mine was an inspiration as well but she has been gone for awhile now. Enjoy the day, you are a mom as well.
Yes, I am still lucky to have my mom around. It sounds like you are blessed to have such a wonderful mom looking over you. Hope you had a good day:)
Nice one, Leslie.
I bet your mother's proud of you too.
Leslie, what a superb portrait, and wonderful tribute to your mom. She must be so very proud of you!
A beautiful portrait and wonderful tribute to your Mum.
Thank you John and Kathryn. Yes, she claims she is proud of me. Gillian, thank you. I hope all of you had a good mother's day remembering your mothers as well.
I haven't checked the blogs I follow for awhile so it was nice to see all of your newest paintings. I really love this one. It's a great pose and I love the lighting. Really beautiful!
