can't seem to get started? My mother taught me to paint when I was 7. At 37 my last child was born, I stopped painting, got busy with work and life. I'm almost 45 now and only one painting since then.
This is difficult for me but by talking about it I hopefully can get through it..
My Mother was in the Hospital and I had to work on her Birthday. I went to go see her the day before. She told me "Dreama, I have prayed a long time to GOD and I am ready to die now, I really am tired" Of course I told her she had years left. She would not hear it and started telling me her good byes and gave me messages for the grand kids and other relatives.
Then she held my hand. I kissed her and told her I loved her.
She told me... "Dreama, You need to start painting, I mean it! You are going to get all my art stuff, do this for me" I promised I would, then left for work.
The next day It was my mothers birthday, (only 65) I was going to call from work, when the Doctor called first...she had passed away that morning.
A little more than a year has passed now and I still have not done a painting. This week I got the easel out and mounted a canvas, gathered up what I need..it's a start, I want to honor her and do this but it's hard.
Thank you for taking the time to read my long post, It was not easy for me to face this issue...any words of encouragement are welcomed, who knows I might sell some too.
