I used to make these paper fortune tellers all the time in junior high.

Belva Lockwood

Again, in the spirit slightly odd vintage photo captions, she was described as “famous lawyer and bicycle rider.”

Edith O’Gorman

This 19th century photo by Matthew Brady stood out to me because it was a woman with an interesting expression and an even more interesting description: “Edith O’Gorman. Escaped nun from Canada?”

Edna and Barbara Have Coffee

This was a leisurely-to-finish painting based on an old photo that I later realized didn’t quite have enough detail in it.

Lena and Manny After Dinner

The latest painting in this style & size – these are my husband’s parents Manny and Lena, from (yet another) great photo by Alan.

Barbara Makes a Wish

After painting my grandfather, I wanted to create a portrait of my grandmother in a similar vein.

Reino in Focus

Rather than using reading glasses or a magnifier, my grandfather uses these shop goggles out of habit.
