Hello. Welcome and come on in.
Get comfy as you join me in celebrating The Ultimate Blog Party this week (hosted by 5minutesformom). Grab your tea or coffee and feel free to tour around my daily morning posts and paintings.
Today's post is a tribute to all moms.

While sitting on her old Victorian lounge chair, I couldn't help but keep looking at her easter bunny. It was prominently displayed in the corner of her well-kept living room.
There, at barely two feet, it stood tall with it's yellow, lime green and pink dress. Yes, a bunny with a dress. It wasn't 'just a dress', mind you. Faux pearls adorned the silk skirt, the collar and sleeves were finished with shimmering organza. Lovely.
Looking around, I noticed she has almost finished putting out her easter decorations. She is not an artist but I always find her choice of pieces quaint and unique. The overall design is pulled together. But I can tell what matters to her the most. On top of the center table, besides the bouquet of spring flowers, sat a mahogany covered photo album. It is carved with the word 'Grandkids'.
I meant to ask her the story behind the easter bunny. I hushed myself and decided to wait. I didn't want to spoil one of the most beautiful memories unfolding before my eyes. A moment in time I wish I can freeze.
There, besides her easter bunny, she sat. Holding my son in her arms and cuddling him so tenderly. The room was filled, not just with easter eggs and bunnies. But with overflowing love.
Mine to her. Hers to mine. Ours to him.

Maybe you found it already and maybe it may help someone else!
Stop on by my party if you have a chance.
What a wonderful story to go with the painting. I host a writing blog and we're having a contest about this very thing - posting a picture and telling a story.
You did a good job painting a lot of warmth and love in your post.
Have fun at the party!

I've enjoyed my bloggy part visit and have subscribed to keep up with your beautiful paintings. My daughter is an aspiring artist and will enjoy your blog, too. She's actually sitting behind me painting right now lol. She loves using acrylics.
All I can say is "Wow". I'm in love with the colors and the vibrancy in your artwork! I agree with Audra Marie: you paint beautiful pictures with your words as well as your brush!
