Mom Monday: A Pencil Portrait Of My Grandfather

 Welcome to another Mom Monday. I haven’t run out of sketches yet. I’m quite certain this is my grandfather Carl. A year or two from this picture he had curly blond hair and was equally adorable.

Mom Monday: A Pencil Portrait

 Mom inherited an old suitcase full of photos. She didn’t know who most of the people were, but some caught her imagination as portrait subjects. 

I’m doing a huge sorting of physical photographs, but haven’t found the original of this one so far. Mom usually worked in oils, but she had a period of time when portraits were her focus. She even took commissions for a few.

Mom Monday: Unfinished Painting of Two Men and A Ghost

 Mom could do anything and she attempted everything. So she had many works in progress. Moving things around today, I found this nice painting which just needs a bit more work…except.  In  order to finish it you’d need to (eep) paint over my father’s ghostly floating head. Nobody wants to be the one to do that.
