8x10" group

I have posted this picture of my mother before , she was truly a renaissance woman , a mother, a classic ballerina, a sculptor, a weaver, designer of clothes and home furnishings, studied Chanel, a pilot a portrait artist working mainly with charcoal and pastels, but now and then she worked with oils and my son Tim ran across her spatula and brought it over to me to have as a memory of her; I cannot tell you what a joy it is to have now that I have the courage to paint! bless you mother . I hope I can make you proud.
