A Late Night Return
It was only at major festivals that the Huang’s baby was brought home to join his family. Otherwise he lived with his Ah Ma. After The Autumn Festival, his elder brother’s usual chore was to take Bao Bao back to Granny.
~from New York. Returning home tonight. My husband Peter's Mother, Satia Hayes passed away yesterday at the good age of 95. She has returned home.
I'm sorry to hear the news. May peace be with you and family.
ReplyDeleteThe light seems radiating from the boy's face, so gentle and tender.
Wow, you are just blowing me away with your work right now. You've outdone yourself again. This one is just stunning! So much emotion in it too.
ReplyDeleteHow is NYC? Say hi for me...I'm missing it right now.
These texts are yours???, they are beautiful like your paintings, I imagine your work in a beautiful illustrated book with all these wonderful experiences that you gifts us...
ReplyDeleteAlways a pleasure return for watching your work.
Hugs

She would have loved this tribute to her, this beautiful light filled painting. There is grief there too, but the light dispels it soon. And she is present in the full moon. Full moon here too, and I saw a smiling face in it. My friend said it was only smiling at me because I was smiling at it :)
ReplyDeletetruly sorry for your loss and your husband's. yes, she is home... as we all shall be one day. isn't it wonderful?
ReplyDeletea beautiful posting. thank you. kenza.
Sorry for your loss, our dearest people will always live inside our hearts and memories.
ReplyDeleteHappy to found your beautiful artwork!
You just brightened QQ's and my day by about 1000 watts! I got a ton of photos of her opening that box and will wade through them later tonight...it was a bit dark so I hope I got some good ones. She was beside herself! And the painting...even more beautiful in person!! I am overjoyed!! ooxx
ReplyDeleteps - can never repay you in a million years!
I have a whole long story to tell you, which will be in my next blog post...but I just went in to check on Q after putting her to bed, and she is lying next to her baobao bear, their heads side by side on the pillow, sharing her warm milk with him, and the blanket tucked around both of them. It's amazing. This is TOTALLY unprecedented behavior on the part of Q, who has never cared much for any stuffed toy or doll before. I can hardly believe my eyes. Must be some sort of magic in that BaoBao.
ReplyDeleteThis time I totally know you more from The Wanderers' Daughter here . Had been received the mail from you But the truly i think that's publicize So i don't have too much care of it !! sorry sorry ,But this time i saw your post in The Wanderers' Daughter that i sure I was mistake of it :)How ever ! you're talent .
ReplyDeleteDear lovely inspiring Jeanne-Ming, it was so amazing and exciting to read Maia's post about Q receiving her BaoBao, and that beautiful painting.. your painting!! It felt like one of those cosmic alignments :) I want your artwork to adorn my home too - and when people gape, I will haughtily say to people, "Oh yes, that's a Jeanne-Ming Brantingham, don't you know?"
ReplyDeleteLove the little story, always love the little story and your painting is fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that your mother in law is returning home and at a nice age but I am sorry for your loss.
Love Renee xoxoxo
