Allen,
The only thing she loved more than painting was her children and grandchildren. Sadly she passed away in 1992 before I started painting. I was a sculptor at The Franklin Mint at that time and worked 3D exclusively. I should say that my father was a sculptor who met my mother in art school before WWII, he passed 7 years before Mom. I have always wanted to do a figurine of her painting outdoors but I have yet to get there...Some day. A painting may be a better idea though. I picture her in the tall grass and wild flowers she loved to paint along the countryside.

Thank You, for reminding me of her.

Peace,
