"They Were Everything" beautifully captures the essence of our cherished moments during childhood. Our first experience looking after animals teaches us the skills of motherhood, kindness and patience. We learn how to love and care for an innocent life, to nurture and protect. We are exposed to the wild ways of nature and begin to understand the cycle of life and death. This painting reflects a time of innocence and hope, when the whole world seems new, exciting and full of possibilities.
