So after visitng home I thought I would do some impressionistic images of the women in my life, mainly my family. I have a lot of sisters and my mother pretty much raised us on her own. They are all very caring and loving and it is always good to be a part of that and to be able to benefit from it. Even though I sometimes forget that it is available.

So I did this piece for my mother, it is not a planned piece I just wanted to do something gestural in feel to see what my gut reaction would be when I initially thought of her. I guess from the image you can come up with some of your own thoughts on what is depicted.
