I painted this for my mother the day she died.  I called her three or four times a week. I usually called in the morning before lunch.


She had Alzheimers and with me being unemployed, I had no money to visit.  NO MONEY.  The day she died on August 10, 2014 I had a hernia and could not travel anyway.  I called that morning and was told she was in a coma and might die, so I painted this painting for her.  She died later that afternoon.


The painting is a bird's eye view of flying into heaven.  If you squint your eyes, and blur your focus, you can see a landscape come to life.
