Hi Alyson,
I loved this tribute to your mother — it’s wonderful. She sounds like an amazing and dedicated woman. I was lucky that my mother loved art history and certainly knew more than I ever will about the art of the Italian Renaissance and Medieval art, her areas of interest. She travelled extensively, especially in Italy, and could tell you about the paintings and sculptures and where they were in so many cities. I thought of her when I was in The Cloisters in New York City on Sunday — she probably had been there, and would have loved it.
No wonder you are so understanding with artists, you are one! I long suspected that. Happy Belated Mother’s Day. The internet was iffy and slow in our hotel.
XOXOXOXO Barbara

She is, Beth. And it’s my pleasure. I’d talk about her every day if I could.

Wow, your mother really was incredible support to you, as mothers should be 🙂 You did an awesome job, Mrs Barbara!
I wish my mom was as supportive of my art and career choices, but we’re learning to accept each other as we are today.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms reading this!
