I drew this for my mother-in-law on the occasion of my in-laws' 50th wedding anniversary.
It is an image of her on her wedding day.
The "50 anni" on the top right is a dream, not even imagined to her on her wedding day.
All the things listed on the top left are the things that came to pass in their life together - the things she could have forseen: Children, love, problems, work, happiness, hard times, tears, grandchildren, friends, dreams.
The road she is walking is moving her from the past to the future.
The roots under her feet are the roots of their strong relationship, the things that have made their relationship work: Love; Family; Strength; Experience; Luck; Hope; Patience; Determination; Sacrifice; Humour; Morality; the Church; Propriety; Life Education; Faith (and faithfulness - the word is the same in Italian)
I know my sketching skills leave a lot to be desired, but hey. The idea was there, just not the technical ability. Perhaps with practice this is something I can work on.
