A Mother's Gift, and a Giveaway 05/01/2012
 Sunday, May 13 is Mother's Day in the United States. I want to pay tribute to my mother, Melita. She was a kindergarten teacher and our home was always filled with art supplies. She was always crafting or doodling and took adult education classes in drawing and painting. She taught the Arts and Crafts badge for my Brownie troop - we made papier mache sculptures. Macrame plant holders, beaded flowers -- every craft du jour happened in our house. She would have really liked my new art studio! Melita loved creating things and giving them away for others to enjoy. This Mother's Day, I'm honoring the joy and spirit she had for art by giving away a painting.

It was the very first time I completed a painting in COLOR! It was just a few years ago, and I am ever grateful for the lessons I learned. On this day when we offer thanks for the bounty and blessings in our lives, I want to add thanks to the people who enrich my life - by teaching, by encouraging, by appreciating and by supporting my endeavors in art. | About the artistLinda Rosso is a California artist who delights in the colors she sees out of the corners of her eyes.
