As the painting developed I got to think about the outings to antique stores that I did with my mother Emma and my aunt Nelly during my childhood. I used to be filled with expectancy hours prior to the outing. I looked forward to view antiquated objects; I always wondered what secrets or stories they could tell me if they could talk ...
Up to today's date I enjoy visiting antique and/or thrift stores; I am always looking for "that" particular object that brings an "Aha!" moment in me awakening my curiosity and my imagination.
"My Mother's Shears" is the first painting in the series of those objects I find on my outings to these stores. I will keep you posted on the next one but for now...
here is: "My Mother's Shears"
