I think I've inherited a lot from my
mom. I'm pretty sure the ability to draw isn't one of them.
First of all, happy birthday to one of
the two people without whom I wouldn't have been possible. She's
down in Florida right now with Chicky-poo soaking up the sun &
the warmth, while the rest of us are still up here suffering through
the snow and the cold. So, when you think about it, maybe there are
two things I didn't inherit from her—the ability to draw, and
common sense.
We'll have to debate and discuss that
further one day in the future.,
The reason I bring this up on her
birthday is that I just updated her website. I don't know if you're
aware of this, but I put together a website for my mom so she could
show off her talents as a watercolorist. She came to this hobby
after beginning to spend winters in Florida; she took a class, and
found out she could paint. And trust me—she can really paint.
Don't believe me?
Yes, that last one is of me and a cow
in Germany. It was a surprise Christmas present after we all went
over there three years ago, and it's currently hanging in the Jim &
Loraine Apartment Gallery, along with several other of her originals.
We call it “A Dork and a Cow”. I
think you know which one is which.
Those are just a few of her works; you
can check out the rest of them, should you wish, at
www.darlenekoski.com.
Lest you think I'm biased about her talent (and while I am, it's for
a good reason) go ahead and see for yourself just how good she is!
Have a happy birthday, mom. Can't wait
to see what you bring back home with you this year!!
Love,
