| My Mother's Blue painting: My mom commissioned this painting before marrying my dad from her former art-teacher. As a child I remember her turning the lights low and telling us stories about Ukraine. She would tell us that if we looked intently at the windows we could see the candle light flickering... Growing up in the tropics, these snowy moments were truly magical. |
And I think you know by now that I am a true blue friend.
Can't wait to see what Robyn and the rest of the Colourful Friday girls have in store for us today!
