My grandmother who was born in 1900 was a painter who copied this painting and had it hanging in her dining room for as long as I could remember. It haunted me all my life. When she died the painting went to my cousin who knows what she did with it. One day antique shopping I found a Borin print of it in the original frame. They both were in good condition and the color in the print were just as I remembered from grandmothers oil painting. It now hangs above my bed. It took me a long time to find out the name and artist of this painting but I did. There is something about this painting that quietly speaks to the viewer about life and how it can be viewed. Every time I look at it I quietly think of my grandmother.

It takes me back to 1945 - was my mother's favourite picture. Alas, the years, the years.

Portrait of Eric Smith
2009-05-03
Dear friends in Christ,
Only yesterday I found out the story behind the song 'for Eric' which I by accident while doing my internship of surgery (part of the program of the medical school which I attend at Leiden university, the netherlands) found on the Internet half October 2008, only a couple of days it must have been added to the Internet. I was wondering myself who the eric was were the song was made for, because the sung was also in my personal situation a strong support while dealing with very ill patients and having a very hard time to on surgery. It struck me to read that eric has passed away and that I have listened to that song while he was still alive. Although it was December and the ones who have been close by eric, I want to let you pass my condolences to you and have prayed allready this night of support and blessing from the lord for all your work. I'm sure this song composed for eric in his situation will be a support in other patients. At least in my live it has been till now, and knowing this story behind the song gives me a longing of sharing this song with others of my terminally ill patients.
Again it's really a hard thing that eric has passed away, but I can really say, sometimes during the many times of listening the song I felt such a desire for heaven. Eric is there and His our belouved Lord Jezus is there for him.
I will pray for all of you who have been in touch with him, and although I'm far away in the Netherlands, pray for me that during the last part of my program to become a doctor I may share this song with patients and that they may be brought to Christ.
You'll be part of my prayer's, God bless you!

A very nice sketch, Veronica. It's obvious you really loved Eric. Sorry for his passing at such a young age. You have skills and talent and sensitivity... keep on developing them. Thanks for sharing.

Portrait Of Mrs. Richard Hoare With Her Infant

The painting has, love and tenderness in the image of the Mother but for me, it has an even more strong emphasis, namely, protectiveness, signified by the raised hand, M0ther's back to the background and th vulnerable position of the child against an almost eeriely dark background.

The Infant Samuel

As far as my search there is no other lithograph of Infant Samuel. This is what I call it a lithograph but, I was told it has brush stokes that was used with lithographs late or early 88th or 19 century.

I lived in New Mexico for many, many years, until I returned to my native Texas. I always felt as though I had two home states. I still miss NM. I don't know if you've noticed or not, but New Mexico has the bluest skies of any place else. I can almost look at a picture of a sky and tell whether or not it was made in NM. I don't know what causes it, unless it's because the state is virtually smog free. Thanks for these images. -- and Thanks for making me even more homesick!! |

I have been so blessed by this wonderful song. I feel sad that you are deprived of your loved one in this life but you will be together forever with him. Something in his voice speaks so deeply in the depths of my spirit and leaves peace and deep encouragement. I have listened to this song many times tonight for this has been a horrible time of warfare against my son & I and I have been touched once again by God. Thank you. I hope I get to meet Eric in Heaven. He has such a sweet spirit. What a blessing & comfort he must have been in your lives. Thank you for sharing him with us. God bless you all.

The Temptation In The Wilderness
2009-02-08
This image captures so perfectly the depths of human despair - the loneliness, the hopelessness.
Christ is in our sufferings, our darkest moments - He can identify with those feelings, because when He lived with us, He lived as one of us - and then He died for all of mankind - no greater love than His. (maryflynnk_AT_hotmail_DOT_com) |
