Last year when my mother passed away, the 20th Street Gallery was getting ready to open the 50/50 Show. (Fifty artists, create fifty paintings, within fifty days.) I knew some artists who were participating in the show, but I was too sad to attend. Since then, I thought about doing this show with a theme on the dynamic relationship between mothers and daughters. I submitted this painting and was accepted to participate in the 50/50 Show. I hope to honor my Mom in a small way by painting simple moments of the bond shared between all the mothers and daughters I see everyday all around me. One last thought, the 50/50 Show opens on April 8, 2009 and the big, Second Saturday Show is on April 11, 2009, one year to the day my Mom passed away.
