Portrait painting 2

Girls are blessings, M and C from New York City (SOLD)
 (DETAIL, 30 X 40 inch oil on canvas)
When I delivered the finished picture the young C, one year old at that time, started to run and jump with joy recognizing her beloved mother.

The Alchemist's Dream, 23.6X31.5 inch oil on canvas
(Artist's property)

Based on numerous old photographs from the 1920s-30s this picture was painted to remember a very special person.
