A Self Portrait of My Mom
A Self Portrait of My Mom
Yesterday, I spent the day at my sister Rosemary’s home. I took my camera along with me to photograph some of the family art work that she owns. This is a self protrait that my mom did of herself when she was young. My sister has it hanging in her dining room. My mom graduated from The Cleveland Institute of art in 1940. While there, she studied under Viktor Schreckengos. My daughter Megan will graduate from the very same art school this spring.
I see where you daughter gets some of her talent. That is so awesome that your daughter is graduating from the same school as her Grandmother.

I like that. It’s almost pop-art, isn’t it? She was so talented. I like the way you took the picture from that angle. It lends itself to the painting.

Actually, I had a hard time finding an angle that eliminated the glare from the picture’s glass. I’m glad it looks ok.

You do have a very talented family. I’m sure your mother would
be very proud of your daughter too.
