This week’s artist is my husband’s maternal grandmother, Sylvia. She passed away about a year and a half ago. Fortunately we did make the effort to visit her in Florida once a year starting when Jake was two. As a result she did get to meet all of her great grandchildren that live stateside (Larry has a cousin in Germany with three boys the same ages as our crew). Jake and Nate have clear memories of their great grandmother, but Max and Rebecca were far too young to have a lasting memory.

This is a picture of her with me and the boys. I think Nate is half-asleep and Jake is actually happy to be there, he just has an add expression. Max and his Great Grandmother look like they have made a great connection. Sadly we were unable to get Rebecca to pose in a picture with GG Sylvia, but we do have some very cute pictures of Rebecca toddling about in Sylvia’s apartment.
After that visit she sent us one of her paintings that we had admired. We got a few more after she passed away. They are all up on our walls, two of them hanging in the guestroom. This is one of the guestroom paintings.

It is a nice impressionistic seascape. I like the colors and how you can get a sense of it being a blustery day at the beach. Sylvia got a lot of pleasure from her paintings and she would be pleased that we appreciate them and have them up.
