I went through some photos at my parents' house last weekend and came across this one. During my early childhood, my parents painted some cool abstracts together and would bring my sister, Anne, and me (far right) to art fairs, where they would sell their work. Since there are no records of their sales back then, I have no idea where these paintings ended up. As I got older, my parents got so immersed in parenting that they stopped painting, which makes me sad. And these sweet photographic memories serve as a proper reminder to me to never stop creating.
That’s a beautiful photo, Jane! It’s amazing how those early memories of your parents’ creativity stuck with you—those abstract paintings and art fair adventures sound like such a vibrant part of your childhood. It’s bittersweet that they drifted away from it, but it’s cool how you’re turning that into fuel to keep your own creative fire going. Do you ever think about tracking down one of those old paintings, just for the nostalgia? 😌
What a sweet memory!
Love this photo and your memory! Wouldn't it be amazing to find one of these artworks at a thrift shop or rummage sale? How did they sign their pieces -- DAHMS?
