They didn't know that I did this painting. I gave it as a surprise gift for their wedding. I deliberately made the background vague. I wanted it to indicate that they are walking into the future together. It is an unknown future since most of them are. I didn't think that it was right of me to define what their future might be. I intended this to be foggy and mysterious.
They are walking away from me. That particular symbolism makes me both sad and pleased. As a mother, I hate to see my son go. On the other hand, I am happy that he has found someone to love. I am happy that he has found happiness and is doing well.
They are in step together, striding into the future. They are holding hands, which is, of cour...
About AnnaJo Vahle
Although born in upstate New York, I grew up mostly in Nevada and California. The fabulous panoramic views of the far west inspired me to begin painting and photographing it’s beauty. I’ve lived in various areas in the states and in Europe but always had the desire to express through painting and photography. While living in the Mediterranean, I was especially influenced by the great Renaissance art and the chiaroscuro work of Caravaggio. I began with oils, worked with a wide variety of mediums but now mostly work in acrylic, oils, and photography. I studied mostly engineering in college but ended up with a degree in Technical Illustration, one in Psychology after several moves and colleges, one in Art Education. My experience as a...

Belinda Low
The story caught me AnnaJo! and I know how you feel as I am a mother myself. Watching our babies grow up to be men and then letting go the first time is the hardest...Thereafter it becomes easier and it's a gentle release taking its course and time...I realise it's only when we love that we let go cos we want them to be Happy. This work is so full of meaning and so precious! F/V
AnnaJo Vahle replied:
Thank you so much Belinda. Yes, it is hard to let your loved ones go…but it is the way life works. I am so happy that he is so happy.
