LJ Idol Week 24: Toolbox

[messygorgeous]

She was so beautiful, all dark hair and wide eyes, standing there in the kitchen where the late afternoon light was the best. The room smelled like linseed oil, a streaked canning jar of the lemony cleaning solution more potent than potpourri. Her easle and canvas were on the island, tubes of oil paint spread out around the old fishing tackle box

What a loving and beautiful portrait of your mother, and a fantastic tribute to first, her defiance, then her persistence, and finally her success at becoming who she wanted to be. It is an inspiration.

This filled me with warm fuzzies. The portrait of your mother was loving and honest, and was loaded with love. I really enjoyed this.

What a wonderful piece to write about your mother! It was an excellent way to use the topic. I'm glad she had this passion.

YES! I'm glad to have met your mom through your warm and caring words of introduction.
