J90
J90- holds a great significance to me. It stands
for Jassy, my daughter born in 1990 and for
Joe, my husband who died few months later
that same year.
This painting is of one of the last moments they were together.They both will always hold a special place in my heart....I just wish Jassy knew how much he has loved her.
I have painted it for Jassy's 19th birthday. ( I still can't believe it has been that long) Bellow is Jassy with her painting.
Do you who have someone you love....tell them, and love and enjoy each moment you have together. You never know if tomorrow never comes.
Thank you for looking.
