Easel box

Thanks, David,
I used to bring my watercolors when traveling. Using this small paintbox reminds me of the intimacy of painting watercolors and maybe I will try it in the car sometimes, it was a good idea you told me, thanks again.

Mom in Maine. Pretty low tech.

David,
what a lovely photo of your mother, one can really feel her engagement and that she is loving to paint.

You are lucky to have her as a role model. My parents did not practice anything in the direction of art so I had to make it up for my self.

Have you tried to paint her painting?

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,

David,
give it a try.!!!

You could have another person model for you in the landscape. A sister or someone who looks like her, for the figure, and use some photos for the head.

If you choose to do it as a "Work In Progress" you will get a lot of support from here.

You could start out with a small portrait of her to warm up, how about that?
