One of the things I want to do with mama is something fun or beautiful or special every day. Art is something we both enjoy very much and her sunny back deck is the perfect spot to art away a few hours of an afternoon.
Art is something I introduced to mama close to 10 years ago, while I have been a super keen creative maker all my life and an artist most of my adult life it was never her thing. She came to stay for a week after she retired and was quite concerned she would be bored and lonely so I introduced her to the wonderful world of art journaling and the online art community.
Mama has never looked back and has found lots of genuine caring souls to connect with. We started an Australian art swap group on facebook to create a safe community where we can all play, mum has travelled to do workshops I taught, it deepened our relationship and I am so very proud of her.
It's not all art for our moments I spotted this cute and friendly little fellow while out with my son one day so took mama to visit. Another day we had lunch at a quirky cafe and yesterday I came home with sweet smelling mini carnations to grow.
I just want to share joy and create beautiful memories I guess.
