My Muse Mama

Okay, so it's been some time since I have posted.

Just yesterday, I finished my first Little Girl of the New Year. While home for Christmas , my sister Moni found a photo of Mama and her mother. I believe, other than a glamour shot, there isn’t a photo of them together. It looks like it was taken a few years before Mama married Papa. She looks sexy.

Many years ago, my grandmother passed away of Lou Gherig’s disease; she passed away quickly and seemed to be angry those last days of her life. Mama has now been living with it for many years. Her will to live has been unbelievable; it amazes me. She inspires me to be the best man possible. She inspires me to paint: she is my muse.

My grandmother used to love to draw flowers; Mama says I probably got my talents from her side of the family. I only wish I could find one of her drawings.

When I got home for Xmas, I couldn’t wait to start the piece. I can’t wait to frame it and hang it up in my apartment. It’s titled “Mi Mama, Su Mama.” It’s in honor to all the mothers of the world.

May you have a beautifully amazing day!
