Can you pick out which one is me? Heehee!
Anyhow, fast forward to a couple of months ago when Ann Gorbett brought some fabulous oil paintings done from old time photos of her family to the gallery, and I knew that this image I had of my sisters and I needed to be interpreted by her and her incredible use of a palette knife.
Here are the paintings that inspired my request.

And of course a close up of just us kids...
I couldn't be more pleased with how it came out. It will definitely be prominently displayed in my home as soon as I can stop picking it up to look at it.

Nita, I am the one on the immediate left. The prim and proper one. Toes pointed and candy cane squarely in my grasp with a huge smile.
I really love this photo, and oil painting!!!
Nancy, It really did come out well.
I hope you figure out where it hangs in your home and photograph that for us,too!
I am going to lift some of your photos for my blog, too!
I thought for sure you were the one in plaid, but was secretly hoping that you had the fashion sense to pair red tights with saddle shoes. That was my elementary go-to fashion statement when my Osh Kosh B'Goshes were dirty. What a great pic!
