Art Imitates Life

My grandmother is a fantastic artist.

She doesn't admit it and in fact never suggests that she's anything but, "a painter who still needs a lot more lessons."

I disagree.

Here are a few samples of her more recent works:


Her still lifes, while usually on a small canvas, are very dramatic.


Like all great artists my grandmother goes through 'periods'.




For a large number of years she painted seascapes. Now she's moved onto flowers and is exploring old world scenes in Italy.



Truth is, I consider myself lucky to have a number of her paintings hanging in my house.
