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.
