“Rose”
Another inspiration from a vintage family photo, this portrait is of my great-grandmother. The original photo is sepia-toned, and I just love adding my own color to create a living work. Her composure and gaze caused me to speculate much about the dreams she held and the life ahead of her.

I like the soft eyes and beautiful clothing – nice choices of color!
Women dressed so nicely back then! I liked how the colors worked, too. Thanks, Joani.
I particularly love this one Terry, maybe not just because it is painted in your usual expertly way but the name means a lot in my family too. I like how you have used a rose colour delicatly in her clothing, a nice touch
Thank you, Lorraine. Yes, I thought the rose color would be a good choice. Glad it worked.
Another beauty, Terry! I love the way you handle their faces and their expressions. Also you paint their clothes so well infusing your own ideas from sepia or b&w photos.

Thanks a lot, Connie! I love it when people make a connection with what I paint. I means a lot to me.
Beautiful Terry! You captured a wistful look. I love your warm and cool background, and her dress is perfect.
Thank you, Sherry. Capturing that look seems to be key – it’s like the landscape of her face.
