| With A Smile |
To purchase this original acrylic 6x6 painting on cradled board for $125, please contact me at the "contact artist" on the right side of this page.
This painting title is in honor of two special people who passed away today and yesterday, Mary Tyler Moore and my husband's "Uncle Jack". Both always had a smile for you. MTM gave me confidence as a little girl that I could have any career I wanted when I grew up and Uncle Jack always wanted to hear my opinions of interests we shared. I knew I was one of the family when I made it onto his "clipping service" list which meant I would receive in the mail articles clipped from the newspaper that he thought would be of interest to me! Uncle Jack was surrounded by smart women (from his wife and daughter to his granddaughters, great granddaughters and grandnieces) and took great pride in them all. I will miss the smiles of both these people who had a positive impact on me and the many women and girls around them (and some men, too!)! Rest in peace Mary Tyler Moore and Uncle Jack!
Lyrics to Mary Tyler Moore Show song:
Who can turn the world on with her smile?
Who can take a nothing day, and suddenly make it all seem worthwhile?
Well it's you girl, and you should know it
With each glance and every little movement you show it
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can never tell, why don't you take it
You're gonna make it after all
You're gonna make it after all
How will you make it on your own?
This world is awfully big, girl this time you're all alone
But it's time you started living
It's time you let someone else do some giving
Love is all around, no need to waste it
You can never tell, why don't you take it
You might just make it after all
