My mom left all her artwork to me, but it's not really my aesthetic. Would I be a terrible daughter if I took them down?
  • Honor your mom with giveaways

    Pick 3 or 4 that you truly do like and hang them prominently so you can feel that you've given Mom's art importance in your place.

    Then invite everyone who was ever important to your mom to come over and pick out a painting of hers they'd like to have as a remembrance of her.

    If there aren't enough folks left to do that, donate the pictures to places whose walls could use some cheering up: hospitals, shelters, halfway houses, orphanages. Those flowers and such that are not your taste could well bring some happiness to others. What a great way to honor your mom and the beauty she created!
