my mother saw life creatively ... especially through the tip of a watercolor brush
these thoughts return as I photographed the simple budding branch below
instantly reminded of the feeling in this unframed painting of hers
even in absence learning continues ... a gentle lesson to hold close in love

Like mother, like daughter... both beautiful, both creative, both with much to share. Thank you for these tender portraits, Elk ((HUGS))
Your mother had to be a beautiful woman-- her daughter sure is! I'm sure she was so proud of her girl!
Powerful...moving. Love how we find our voices emerging from those of those who came before us. A lovely tribute to both you and your artist mom!!!
beautiful... inspiring Elk. I'm sure you reflect your mother in many wonderful and talented ways.
Wonderful painting and equally gorgeous photo. Two wonderful talents evolved.

even in absence
it is true
So beautiful ELK! Creativity is a wonderful gift and one that your mother has obviously shared with you. And I love the idea that these loving lessons continue... I hear my grandmother's wise, gentle voice ring in my head almost every day still with some comfort or lesson for me. It's a blessing.
Art is the most powerful element in our lives that creates balance, nonviolence, inspiration and love. The sharing of these gifts exemplifies all of these traits. Thanks for sharing Elk.

It's like she's still seeing through your eyes. Really lovely, and that photo is now one of my favorites of yours!
Touching thoughts you've recorded. These images illustrate them well.
you are amazing. what a gift has been passed through her blood in your veins...her eyes see still.
It does! And what a way to remember her in a simple act of creativity.
What a great lesson, love the images, the colours are amazing.
Now I see where your talent came from.
Oh, elk, that is so beautiful. It brought a tear to my eye.

Beautiful!!! What a sweet way to remember her.
such beautiful images and a wonderful way to remember your mother...
The marriage of the two images is lovely. The painting is beautiful and I recognise the plant from one of your most delicate B&Ws. A pleasure to visit this day.
Love this today..xoxo The colours make me so so happy.
Oh the blue and the green in your tree branch photo is simply divine.
You defiantly had a good teacher.
Such a loving tribute to your mother. As always, I enjoy your work.
Lovely how the picture you made echoes the one of your mother's. Both very beautiful.
elk there is a depth to this picture which i seldom see in photography.
it contains the depth of your life lesson.
her watercoloring is so beautiful & i adore it next to your photograph. different & similar.

I have missed you. I feel pulled in so many directions so I decided to hide in a book.
Love this post.
Those look so much alike, her painting and your photo. Lovely, you're her daughter.
This is so beautiful, especially as you take up the gift of capturing beauty, and continue it. . .
The painting like a poetry prompt for the photo.
Elk,
this transcends . It is truly inescapably divine.
I don't have the words... everything sounds inadequate...
This is wonderful!
So creative and meaningful at the same time. The Lord has gifted you as He gifted your mother. You are a reflection of her.
