Abstract...Memories

Thanks Vickie

Memories come and go and fade away without our being able to do anything about it…hence the melting away of the images….

Memories do run together inexplicably… for example….under the table playing as kids, grandmother’s lace curtains, her vegetable garden, the grapes you were fed when you were sick, or the ones you gave your mother, when she was in the hospital, books you’ve read…some brightly coloured, some faded….mixed in, is the present, with water by your bed at night for the pills you take for that recurrent headache, waiting for your son to come home….he’s late again…though this is not really my life, I painted it so that anyone could identify with the images portrayed…

Thanks Webbie…memories disappear as quickly as they appear sometimes…

Thanks Joanne…Glad you like this one…

Thank you Julie…I love your insight into this painting and that you took the time to describe how you feel about it…it is so valuable to a painter to get the emotional reactions of viewers to the work…you are right on, by the way…the billowing lace curtains suggest that the window is open and that memories fade, in the same way as the dripping images and unpainted areas do….

Thank you so much Lesley, for all your great comments on my work…...

Thanks Estelle…a painting like this is different for every viewer…each item shown will have different connotations….equally valid are your feelings that some of the things portrayed were not part of your past and you wish they had been..as well knowing that some of them might have been, but you can’t remember them…I’m glad it has resonated with so many people….

Thank you Sorina…

Thank you Amy…glad you like it….

Thank you Marita…

Thanks KJ…I have many different hats when it comes to painting, though food is my favourite subject matter…

Thank you…my face is appearing inch by inch…maybe I’m wearing a hat?

You don’t have to wait…you can see me anytime on the net, painting on walls…

Thank you so much, but where did you see it Catherine?

I meant where did you see it that sent you to this page…was it in one of the groups?

There has been a bunch of new comments on this painting, so I wondered if it was seen first in one of the groups…usually people don’t go too far into a gallery and this is way back…I’m so glad you like it…
