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 (tomorrow) 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 she has a website. I don't know if you're aware of this, but I put it together for her 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 a few 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,
