Blaine and I had a wonderful visit at my mother's house in Texas.... I call her "Mumsy"..... and the above picture is her portrait, painted by a famous artist. Isn't she beautiful? I adore my Mumsy....
Since retiring from the US Foreign Service a few years ago (the Diplomatic Corps), she has returned to her own art. She, too, is a well-known artist---and she has many mediums and muses. Currently, she is concentrating on her mosaicing and sculptures.
She sells some of her art pieces in shops, and she is also featured in certain publications. She is on the internet as well. The below picture shows a wall in her "TV room". The whimsical camel portrait is one that she painted herself---and she won't sell that piece for any price.
(The ceramic pony on the shelf is an original "Painted Pony" (part of the collection of the "Trail of Painted Ponies") that I gave her for Christmas one year. I myself collect "Painted Ponies"...
I am lucky---because she has given me many, many beautiful, spectacular pieces of her work---
made just for me....
The below picture is a sink counter she mosaiced, situated in one of the powder rooms in her home.
(And she included in the mosaicing some intricate glass birds that I had bought for her one year...)
Blaine and I only just got home to Kansas today---and we're pretty tired. I will speak more of my Mumsy ---and our visit to Texas---later.....
