One Down

Finally! I managed to finish my mothers canvas art today, I'm really hoping she likes it, because making this project meant a lot to me. We are a very small family, I am the youngest of 3 children, my older sister, Angie being 10 years older then me, and my brother, Felix, being 8 years older then me. My mom raised us as a single mom and sacrificed so much to make sure we had everything we wanted and more, but even through all that, she was always around. She ran a daycare out of our house in Brooklyn so she could be there to take us to school and sometimes even pick us up. This Mother's Day, I wanted to especially thank her for all those years of hard work she poured into us, because now as a mom, I realize how hard it really was for her to do it on her own.

The corners of the canvas each contain a grandchild's name and their date of birth. It stands to represent everything she means to us and now our children. Deric, Elena, and Angelina are my sisters children (hopefully soon we can get some family pics of them in here) and Bella is my daughter. My brother doesn't have any kids but that doesn't mean he isn't as much a part of this piece as my sister or myself. So here is the final pic :) and Happy Mother's Day MOM!!!

Being that we are celebrating Mother's Day early this year, and being that I am still working on my sisters art (remind me to NEVER wait this long to start this again!) I'm hoping I can snap a pic of my sisters after I finish :) Good night everyone!!
