I realize that leaving the bosom of an extended family and cherished belongings can be tough. One wonders if she got joy from her children who most likely have embraced Canada.

Sorry, my partner’s mother immigrated from Germany after WWII. She left behind a privileged middle class family but she was tired of trying to figure out her demanding relatives. Yes, she and her family came here poor but her experience was the opposite…she was able to carve a life with values that she wanted.

I also have parents who immigrated to Canada from mainland China in 1950’s. My parents have never returned to visit. They never wanted to…their life together is..here. It really has been even though it’s been especially tough on my mother. It helps since they came, other relatives immigrated to Canada.

How fascinating. I think the best thing for you to do is contact this artist, Rosemary Sloot. Given that the name of one of the paintings in the blog post above is “Your Name is Now Linda,” it’ may well be that you have something family related. Rosemary’ Sloot would know. Her email is public on her website. It’s rsloot@sympatico.ca. I’d love to know the outcome.

A painting I fell in love with has the name Linda Sloot 1964 on the bottom. Can anyone tell me any information about the siblings and if they were also artist- this particular painting is a oil painting of a fall scene not similar to Rosemary’s work. We love the painting and would love to view others.
