Pat Brahs
"Reflection of Love"
This is the artist's most important painting.
The table top in this painting reflects the artist's rose garden that can be seen through the window. For Mother's Day of 1991, one of Pat's four sons, Dale, asked each of the family members to bring a rose bush for Pat. The whole family pitched in, prepared the soil and planted the rose garden, that special day. Dale lovingly maintained the rose garden until January of 1993 when he died of a terminal illness. Pat paints a rose next to her name on each of her paintings. This painting, "Reflection of Love" was painted by Pat in Dale's memory.
