They were my sunshine by Annika Hiltunen
FINAL step by doing a translation of a wonderful painting “You are my sunshine” by Dianne Ilka to Sojie 14 workshop.
Painted with soft pastels.
Traditional Art – 3rd Place
SoJie 14, October 2011
I am a naive artist and I love happiness. I don’t paint sorrow and pain. But there is sadness behind happiness and fun in my traditional art translation called “They were my sunshine”. I am remembering my grandparents who are gone. I am thinking of all those people who have lost their love ones and all they wishes is to be together again.
I hope that one day (hopefully far far away) it is me and my husband sitting in that couch, loving forever in heaven.
Yes, “They were my sunshine” tells about eternal love.
You are my sunshine
