      Drawing from these old photos is sort of like taking a look through another lens and seeing into a previous lives.

  2. There is so much in this painting, the details are amazing, happy to see your mom again, I wonder if the people in the back were upset about not being shown, this truly an excellent representation of the past in such extreme beauty

    1. There is something so poignant about this wonderful painting.
      I'm not sure if it is the fact that it is a moment in time captured forever...or if it is the intrigue of the story behind it...I just long to spirit myself into the frame and become a part of it...:)

    2. I think it’s the posing, the obvious placement of the children, and overt attention directed to one. A typical photograph, I suppose, though I couldn’t resist this attempt..
