"We're Hosed" (Day 40, 6x6", Acrylic/Oil)

I thought of naming this painting "Why Water the Plants?" because kids always seem to want to water the patio!!! Anyway, the name I chose makes me laugh.

I have been late on posting my paintings so it looks like I have skipped a day, but I am still on track!! Down to the last ten!!!

I have had a lot of questions about how to purchase the paintings. It has been such a pleasure and honor to capture and recreate small moments of the life between a mother and a daughter. My oldest daughter asked if participating in the show has been worth it. For me it has, I have used this opportunity to work through my personal loss. I miss my mom every day but I try to focus on how much I enjoyed her and how much I learned from her. She was such a kind, smart, wise, and easy person. I would talk to her every day and she was one of my best friends. Anyway, I don't want to get sad and what I am trying to say is this adventure has helped me and I am grateful!!! Okay, back to purchasing questions, all of my paintings will become part of the 20th Street Gallery's 50-50 Show. (50 artists, create 50 themed paintings withing 50 days.) My paintings are $50 each and must be purchased through the gallery. Please visit the gallery's website for directions and hours www.20art.net . The show opens April 9th and runs through the end of May. I will be there on the Second Saturday, April 11, which is one year to the day my mother passed away. My goal is to view this as a celebration of the unique, fun, challenging, loving, and always changing bond shared between a mother and a daughter.
