Today, I hung up this painting in apartment 1 my mom had painted in 1980. My aunt and uncle gave me this painting 3 years ago. I finally took it out of the sealed box, I feel like an archeologist opening up a sacred artifact and once I did, a blast of cold air came out of it, and soon it brought me back in time when my mom was painting it. The heavy texture in the water, she was painting it by squeezing the oil paint out of the tube rather than using the paint brush. It is more beautiful than I can imagine. It goes well in this bedroom, picking up the colors in the rug, the furniture, wall, etc. This painting brought peace into me this morning.
