Oh my, Piety!

This is such a warm, exceptional, and touching portrait and tribute to your mother. This is a beautiful, wonderful composition; and so peaceful. It recalls for me memories of my grandmother finding quiet solace cradleling a limp bible on her lap, deep in reflection. She represented to me, a fragile bridge to a time and way of life forever removed from mine. As such, this portrait, more than being an intimate portrait of your mother, resonates as an evocation familiar to the wider human experience and continuum.

Can I come over and see this?

Garth
