Description
Twenty years ago I painted my parents home at the foot of the Huachuca Mountains near Sierra Vista, Arizona (USA). In June of 2011 a huge forest fire completely destroyed their home and they lost everything but the clothes on their back and an old work truck. Dad passed away a year and a half later on January 1st, 2013. I found an old picture of my painting for them and decided I would paint a new one, even better, as a surprise gift for my Mom. She is managing on her own, all alone now, quite well. I plan to go to Sierra Vista this weekend to give her this. I got the idea after seeing one of Hanne Lore Koehler's great paintings for a family that had lost their house. Thanks, Hanne!

Such a lovely portrayal of your parents nest Jerry. So sad to read about the fire and your father. I'm sure your mom treasures this gem of a painting and the sweet home her doting son brought back to life in this glorious work of heart!
Susanna Katherine
Love. Can't believe I never noticed it before.
Jerry Bokowski replied:
Thank you so much, Susanna. I just had to paint this for my Mother after she lost everything in the fire.
Teresa Trotter
Wow! Another beautiful piece that reminds me of Thomas Kincaid. I love it! L/F
Jerry Bokowski replied:
He passed WAY too soon, art critics loathed his work, but the public, regular you and I type people, loved his work and he had enviable success. Thank you very much, Teresa! When some compare my art to say an Edward Hopper, Curt Walters, or Thomas Kinkade, a feel humbled but grateful for the complementary comments. Thank you so much!
