(Simplified) Sketch of My Mom's House (Where I Grew Up), Looking Out the Front Door, From the Center

Oh, she had it MUCH more decorated than this shows - basically, everything was "removed", to feature just the architecture - but then the lush outside... This sketch was on a larger piece of paper. I cut it down, but then also cut out and glued my Mom, Trudy DuBois's signature back on it.

A very sad kind of thing, though, is this: After my Mom died, and my brother and I cleared out her house, to sell it, it went back to being empty.....so this is more like my last sight of it - of being in the home I grew up in....So, in this way, my Mom drawing her own home looking this empty ended up being profound to me...

In Jah's new world earth here though, I get my Mom back; she gets to fill her home with all kinds of art, floral arrangements, (cooking implements!), etc;  and she gets to walk around paradise here with a sketch book, paints, etc. I hope that's soon.
