Happy Mother's Day...in Memory of my Mom... and to all Moms out there in Blogger Land

There would be no tomorrows... no gentle men... without the blessing of a Mother who teaches you to trust... love and become how to become a loving parent a parent yourself!

I am forever blessed and empowered by the countless sacrifices and wisdom of my own Mom throughout her entire lifetime. I think that "She" would be pleased that "I" have come full circle in my life... back to the very sanctuary that she provided our family in our important growing up years. "I" am Home Mom... and the River whispers your name softly... and your varied choir of songbirds still constantly trill your song in your honour. I am at peace and am''' deeply blessed!

"I" will love "You" forever dearest Mom! Sleep in Eternal Peace!

Here is a bouquet of fragile fragrance... just now gracing our lawn... for all of my Friends!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY... TO ALL!!!

  9. I share the spirit of your loving tribute.
    My own Mother passed away on Mother's Day of 1987. You can bet I never forget the date. I think of this day with a smile in memory of a great lady.

    Love the floral painting!

  10. Hi there Dean!...Thank you for your own sharing about your special Mother!

    Obviously... "She" was the "great lady" you choose to mention and honour on this day set aside to honour Mothers everywhere. I say that... because of the fine person she left to carry on her great work... and you do... magnificently Dean!

    I greatly respect "You" as an artist... and equally... as a fine human being!

    Good Painting!
    Warmest regards,
    Bruce

  11. Hi Mr. Sherman,

    I looked you up and am happy to discover you have built a wonderful website! Thank you for sharing all of your lovely artwork - it is truly beautiful.

    I'm on your Mother's Day page, because I was thinking of my Mom, who if were still with us would be 60 years old tomorrow. My mother was Susan Dixie, Bob Dixie's late wife. When she was ill your painting "Lady in Waiting" was sold for fundraising towards my Mom's cancer treatment. This past Christmas I was lucky enough to recieve a print of the Lady in Waiting and am looking forward to hanging it up in our new home!

    So thank you Mr. Sherman,
    even after all these years, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

    Sincerely,

    Amanda Dixie

  12. Dear Amanda... How wonderful to hear from you dear!

    Your family and mine were entwined throughout our early growing up years... and that friendship, I see and feel reaches clear into the next generation to "You."

    I am very proud that you have a copy of my "Lady In Waiting" as well. Your wonderful Mom was indeed a Lady... in EVERY respect... and symbolically... "She" was a "Lady In Waiting".

    Though she passed too soon... "She" would be so very proud to know that she left such a wonderful woman as yourself to carry on her work! I'm sure she is in your heart every day... as is my own wonderful Mom in mine.

    I do hope we can meet one day personally. We now live in Rockport... not at all distant from Brockville. Do come and visit us here... I'd very much like that!

    Thank you for taking the time to leave these words. They mean SO VERY MUCH to "Me"!

    Warmest regards...Much Peace and Blessings!
    Bruce
