Photo to painting
8 x 10″ oil on stretched canvas

Well, I just thought her red hair was interesting and I probably exaggerated it a little. The photo probably came from Carolyn. It’s pretty cute because Carolyn tells her about the paintings, and tells her who did those, and she’s kind of interested in drawing pictures herself. She may be the next artist [in the family]. There’s a painting I did of my mom that Carolyn has, and Gwen said “that looks like you [Carolyn].” I did that painting from life, she posed for me. She was used posing, because she had a sister that did art. They looked a lot alike, my mom and my aunt Alice, who moved to London with her art instructor [and husband].
