Erik Nitsche (Swiss, 1908 - 1998) "Love You Mom" Signed lower right. Original Mixed Media on Illustration Board.

Provenance: Collection of James A. Helzer (1946-2008), Founder of Unicover Corporation.

This artwork was originally published on the Fleetwood First Day Cover for the U.S. 22c Love You Mother stamp issued April 20, 1987.

From our earliest childhood recollections, to the time we face the world as adults, we realize nothing compares with a mother's love. After all, she's the one who raised us and watched us grow ... dried our tears when we were hurt ... and reassuringly tucked us into bed each night. She's the one we could always count on when we needed to talk to someone. And, perhaps even now, when things just aren't going right, no one can help like our mother. Truly, no one could every take the place "Mom" has earned in our heart. But, all too often, time seems to pass us by and we never seize the opportunity to say the things that ought to be said. Fortunately, sometimes special occasions arise when we can express our love and gratitude to our mother ... a special time set aside to say "Love You, Mother!" This artwork features the words every mother wants to hear: "Love You, Mom" in bold, appealing letters. Whether used for a special Mother's Day gift ... for her nearly forgotten birthday ... or for no special reason, this artwork conveys a message so often thought, yet so seldom said.
