Cherished Memories by NetWorthy

I'm retired, but so busy I haven't posted anything in a while. When do work, I mostly use Carrara 8.5 Pro and Daz Studio for composition and rendering, and Fireworks and Photoshop for postwork and textures. I'm more a storyteller than an artist: I like scenes that tell a story -- or strongly suggest one.
I live in Sacramento, California USA with my wife. Kids are grown and gone, so we volunteer at our church, and travel as much as time and wallet will allow!
I REALLY appreciate the many great artists here who have been SO wonderful with their encouragement and pointers. PLEASE comment or just say "Hi". I appreciate your words good or bad: It energizes me, grows me - and keeps me going.

A touching tribute and beautifully done image - it is difficult to get a lamp that looks as good as you have here. And my sincere condolences again.

What a wonderful tribute to your mother! I love the way the children are gathered around listening so intently. And the expression and gestures of your mothers hands, fantastic rememberance of a wonderful time. I always loved reading to my girls. Those are the good memories, and I can see in this image that you cherish them.

Oh this is so touching, I am sorry for your loss. This is a wonderful way to rememember her. And I remember the books well, I read them all to my children, and I have saved all those books so they can have them or perhaps someday read the same books to their children.

Sorry for your loss Larry. My father suffers from this disease so I am empathetic to what you are going through. For all intents I lost the man who was my Dad a few years ago and so as someone said, it is like loosing them 2x. You have to remember them for who they were and not who they became, as you have done here.

What a wonderful tribute and how lucky are the children who have their parents read to them. My mum read to me most every night and those are some of my most special memories, so I can totally relate to your picture. All the best to you and your family.
