Some of my strongest and longest memories come from my maternal Grandparents.
A few words of wisdom that my Grandfather (I miss you every day Grandad!) said for as long as I remember and which I even read out in his eulogy 12 years ago were...
"Never go back. Always go forward"
So simple.
And what a philosophy it is, particularly considering some of his life experiences during his 90 years on this Earth.
With all the changes happening in my life right now, its amazing how often I hear Grandad's words in my mind.
Which has inspired this.
A 30" x 24" mixed media canvas titled "Always Go Forward".
She is not "pretty"....but then not many of my paintings are.
But she is strong.
And I like that.
The "sparkly bits" are actually mica (in case you were wondering) and she is done with many layers of vintage music (another one of my hobbies is playing the piano) which is special to me, and other personalised vintage ephemera, with journalling in the background.
I hope you like her!
