Aunt Betty's Painting

Memories of Loved Ones
12X16

I did this painting for my Aunt Betty.  Each item in the painting has special meaning to her.  The four Love stamps in the frame were a gift from her husband that he gave her shortly before he died.  The Bible belonged to her daughter Joy who passed away and the cross bookmark was made by my daughter Sharon before she died.  My mother Donna, who is Betty's sister, had a passion for flowers so the roses are in her memory.  The heart box was decorated by two special little girls who gave it to Betty as a gift.  She uses it as a keepsake box for photos and obits of other loved ones.  It meant a lot to me to be able to do this painting as a tribute to all our loved ones who have passed away.
