Finally decided to think about getting my first painting put into a proper frame. The painting is very sentimental to me for two reasons: It is a visual representation of how I feel inside and is a reminder of my transition after my mother' s death. After her death on November 3, 2007 I had a difficult time coming down decades of hyper vigilance-where I was constantly in a state where I thought and expected something bad to happen to her. Once she was gone I had learn how live again without a several trips to a hospital to see her and/or seeing her battling physical and mental disease. It is a tribute to her and I's spirit: Ever passionate and full of life, even when life threw us curve balls. I love you mom, although you are gone and I know longer remember your voice, your spirit runs through my veins.
