" Freesia ”

I thought of this painting, while considering Mother’s Day.

I created it in March of 1996,
using a gorgeous Boku glass vase...
I’ve always liked freesia, not only for its enchanting scent,
but the shape of the blooms, and leaves.

Today my son will visit.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother's Day!

This is a special digital collage I created for my mother,
Shirley.

And to all mothers who work diligently;
without much ballyhoo,
to be a source of guidance, inspiration, love, and support for their children...

God Bless You!

“Mother’s Day Bouquet”

Digital

Happy Mother's Day!

I created this for my mother, Shirley.
She's a great mom,
who raised us 4 girls.

I am the oldest,
the artist.
I created a digital Mother's Day bouquet,
with the help of Google Image Search,
and Photoshop.

I love that I can choose only the flowers I want,
and arrange them the way I want them to be.
Also, I can pick the vase, the table, a slab of weathered cyber wood.

I've created a digital-collage...

A first, for me...

Till next time...'Mela
