Description
This painting is dedicated to the beauty of the spirit in each of us. The inspiration for this work is my grandmother. During a visit, my grandmother mentioned to me that although she felt very young inside, she was frustrated by her body that could not do the things she wanted it to do.
It was at that precise moment that I perceived my grandmother, her aged body with an ageless spirit. I also felt strongly that this reality was not limited to my grandmother. She had only voiced thoughts and feelings that in my mind were shared by many.
To provide with the best quality reproduction this painting was photographed by a professional photographer.

Absolutely beautiful painting as well as the ageless spirit portrayed. I also share the thought.

I suspect a lot of people can identify with this, without even having reached such an advanced age. Very nice!

I have been working on a project with my 96 year old mother on hospice, to go through the boxes of photo albums and name as many as we can of her family in younger years. This image just brings tears to my eyes. Love.
