This is my offering for this week's Illustration Friday. I've had all the components of this little assemblage sitting on my desk for three weeks, now--the hill, house, bingo chips, and dress--the only thing I couldn't figure out was Who and Why. When I saw today's topic, Trouble, I thought of my mom and the story of how she stole her brother's bike when she was four and he was at school. She got on and started to ride, but as she headed down their hill towards the candy store, she realized she didn't know how to stop!
She's been gone for five years, now, and I miss her lots. It's been nice to use pictures of her in my recent artwork.

I love the feel of this and it means even more after reading that it is your mom. Nice job.
