As children we all have images that resonate with memories of our youth. These images makes us reminisce about simpler times and remember lost loved ones that have past. I will forever think of my grandmothers when I see landscape paintings with blue grass or a dusty sunrise that overlook trees.
This week I began working on a portrait of my mother I always admired as a child. I'll always remember admiring old photos of my family members in my fathers mothers scrap books. Everyone was glamorous and retro in the images of them in the 50s, 60s, and 70s. This image was a picture of my mother before children and before she married my dad. She might have been engaged to him at the time but she diffidently wasn't married to him yet. I love this image because this was a side of my mother I didn't know. No knowing her as someone other than my mom created an allure of how she was then.
