Self portrait 50 years ago

When I was a child my mother mostly did landscapes:

You can guess, raising 4 kids, taking care of the house and working full time as an art teacher K-12, she did not has as much time to sit back and paint as she might have liked to.

But she found time, when people were fed, or out of the house to do a little work.

Later, after she retired she got back to painting more regularly. She opened up a studio with her friends, hired a model. They all go together and painted.

Exciting things started to happen.

Like many artists I have read about or seen in the museums recently, she really blossomed when she actually had the time and energy to paint.

To be continued, as it is still going on.
