Wow! Even though, sadly, my Mom did not get to finish this painting, when I discovered it in her large stash of [unframed] artwork, in her basement, it made me smile and smile - and it keeps on doing that!
Hmmm, let me see now....This is a fancy shindig! On the far left (in a pretty filmy blouse!) is a lady that looks a lot like younger picture of my grandmother again! And, on the right, is Abe Lincoln! The persons in between them (I think, and as my brother was also guessing ) seemed to be a pioneer woman; Pocahontas (?); Jackie Chan (??); Annie Oakley; a man from the old west/a cowboy-type; my brother (reading a book, studying for school - as seen in another sketch my Mom made); a Christian-sort of woman, with her little girl; Shakespeare; and a movie-star. In the foreground, to the left, is one of my Mom's favorite historical persons, Einstein; and to the right is a famous poet, that I only know to be such because I saw that my mother drew a large sketch of him, in a sketchbook, with his name by it - I looked up who he was. (But now, I will have to find that sketch, with the name of him, again!)
I have another photo of this painting - which is a close-up of the bird - a raven? - which is sitting near the top of the tree to the left. It looks pretty cool. (I will have to find that pic...When I do, I'll post it.) Also, it is hard to see, from this photo, but the fence/wall in the background has a pretty sheen from some golden-colored metallic paint - as does the gold accent on one of the columns.
I love this fun painting! I will have to ask my Mom who's who in it someday!
Again, the bright white dots in the left side of this picture are reflections of overhead lights....Argh. This picture, which I quick-snapped at the framing shop, again, doesn't really do this painting justice. As with other ones, I hope to post other views of them! I also have photos of most of my Mom's paintings before the were framed. I can post those later too, but for now, I just want to get something up!!
