The difference between mothers and sons



What does this painting evoke for you?

Mom (the artist): "In winter I get up at night and dress by yellow candlelight."--Robert Louis Stevenson

Dallin (with a look of total disgust on his face): No way! It's a dinosaur! See, that curve is it's back! And the red spot in the middle, that's the blood where another dinosaur tried to eat him! The rest of the yellow is just the sun shining.

And yeah, it's a lame painting... but hey, at least I'm painting, right?

You can tell I'm not a great art person because...


I saw what Dallin saw.

But after reading the blog I could see what you saw also!

The quote actually came before the painting. I had the quote in mind while I was painting.
