Blue Lady

When I turned 18 my mum bought me an ornament. It was of a lady holding a cat. She has always had this ornament in a similar pose to the one she bought me sitting on the mantelpiece in the living room. It is of an edwardian lady, and the ornament is mostly white and blue porclien. She calls it the 'Blue Lady'. Her gran gave it to her when she turned 18, and she has kept the ornament ever since. Now the ornament she gave me meant so much that I gave her an ornament in a similar pose to the Blue Lady for her Birthday this year. It now sits next to her 'Blue Lady' on the mantlepiece. To give her something she loved so much that she put it next to the Blue Lady meant so much to me that I painted this in tribute to this rather admittedly eccentric tradition in our family. Now when I have a daughter that turns 18 I will give her an ornament to mark that age as well. The painting is a representation of the Blue Lady, though she looks nothing like the ornament.

Bit of a boring story really.
