This being the time of the year when the family gets together here in the USA for Thanksgiving and then in December when different religions throughout the world celebrate their special days I thought that I would do a family work celebrating my family both gone and present. It is quite interesting that my grandparents had 1 boy and four girls and we had 3 girls, 1 boy and 1 girl, not the same order, but the same number of sexes.

And once again I want to promote the importance of family, the support, solidarity, love, warmth and trust the family unit give us. I am blessed with a loving family and I hope that young people today know how important a family is and how vital it is to treasure and nurture it. Parenting is not an easy job and there is no preparation for it, but once you have made the decision to have a family please make sure that you do everything in your power to bring them up to love life, others whoever they might be, we all belong to humanity and we need to respect our differences not be judgmental. I found the article below which I think brilliantly describes how to be the best parent you can be:

This work is based upon my first triptych painting based upon my immediate family.

On top of the above wishes I would like to extend them to my enlarged family through marriage and friendships. Thank you, to all of my friends who make my life better without you I would be nothing!
