Silver and Sepia


Grandmother was so kind to me. We grew up in a rough and tumble family of seven children. We always had food on the table and a lovely home. But grandma gave us refinement. She taught me how to use a spoon without putting it back in the sugarbowl. How to make tea with a proper silver strainer, and when I became engaged, gave me a lovely Tiffany strawberry dish. I found the delightful photo of her after her death, and did this painting to remind me of her. I love the clothing young children wore for their photos, don't you?
