My gift to my mom this Christmas, a watercolor painting that's a redo of an old concept I painted for her in 2003! Her last name means "Little Bear"in Italian, and so our family has always kind of taken the bear as our symbol. When my grandfather passed away, I had painted a bear portrait for my mom incorporating roses, his favorite flower. He taught his children appreciation of nature and gardening through tending his roses. His middle name was Rosario as well, which means "Rose". I've been promising for years to repaint that original concept in that old painting, and I'm glad I finally got to. I love my family very much, and I am so glad to be able to do art for them when I can.
