Establishing Communication Between Parent and Child

This painting reminds us of the importance of establishing communication between parent and child, it is not always so easy to achieve, but is of vital importance to create a good family relationship. The parent, has to be able to listen and converse in a convincing way, I personally do not believe in dictating to a child, after all we do educate them to be able to think and fend for themselves.

Death in the Family

This painting is filled with sadness, love and pain. The message I want to give with this painting is the importance of being able to cry and grieve and share your feelings with your loved ones. Also that death is part of life and has to be accepted as such, those of us who stay behind have to continue to live our lives to the fullest. Grieving takes some time, but one must move on.
