~ a memorial ~

Here's my mom. Her name was Rosalind. She wanted me to put up this picture, or one similar to it. She very specifically requested it. So, but maybe' i'll put up the other one at some later time. I still have the scarf she's wearing.  It's very sixties.  She stared out as a sales clerk in a local clothing goods store,  & eventually ended up selling painting classes to people in the store of a family friend.    I guess she made some extra money that way,  and it got her out of the house kind of. She worked on portraits, oils, and water color. Her water colors were the best. later in life she began to develop her oil piantings in a style of impressionism. i'll put up an example of one of her last works ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This was done from a walkout on the local river which flows between my town and the main town. we went out that day and got very close to the aligators.
