Oil on gessobord, 8x8 inches, not for sale
After my Mom passed away we were going through her belongings and found three old Bibles. The one in the painting is a gift from my Dad in 1960. It was such a happy discovery even though the Bible was falling apart, marked and underlined throughout, it told a story of love on many different levels and I will always treasure it. The Bible was also filled with cards, notes, letters and articles that gave Mom comfort and gives me a better idea of who this woman was. I added the coffee cup and piece of chocolate in the upper right because they were two of her favorite treats. When I look at this painting I feel as though Mom has been called away for just a moment and will return at any time.....and so she has been.
