Today is my Mom’s birthday, Happy Birthday! She really should have been born on April Fool’s day as she starts to celebrate and trick people a week prior. My Mom is an extremely talented artist, she is currently painting with pastels. The photos above include (from left to right) my Mom; then my Aunt Barbara, my Mom, and Grandma. Yes, that’s right, my aunt was sporting a red afro.
You can see more of my Mom’s artwork on her website, Karen Cotler, which I need to update.
Here are a few of my favorite paintings she’s made. (left to right) Cape May, a beach town Brian & I got married in, my Mom’s favorite things including scrabble, and of course Zabars her neighborhood deli hangout growing up in New York City.
Happy Birthday Karen. I know it was a big one but I won't mention the number. Love Brian
haha I think she turned 40! My Mom was very young when she had me;)
I feel fortunate to know your mom. She's a beautiful and talented woman. I was actually beating her at Scrabble, although we left the game unfinished, meaning she will ultimately win since I suspect she won't be inclined to help me anymore.
She's not used to losing a game of scrabble but for the record let's say you one that game;)
