80 TO 85 MY FIRST FIVE YEARS AS AN ARTIST
The paintings on this page were painted from November, 2011 through July, 2016.
PORTRAITS
THE KISS SERIES
My daughter Louise took a picture of my daughter Margot and her new born son Harold. I did not start my art journey till some 30 years after the picture was taken. When I had sufficient skills I painted the picture over and over again in different mediums and using a different approach for each medium — a sort of artistic variation on a theme.
“BLUE” ART
An 85 year old great-grandmother painting sensual art? Why not! To me the only obscenity is violence and that I will not paint.

REPRESENTATIONAL ART
The images of REPRESENTATIONAL ART are identifiable although not in a realistic sense. In most cases the picture is intended to evoke an emotion rather than tell a story.
MONTAGE
A montage is a single picture composed of several pictures.
PUZZLE
This picture of my grandson Frankie having fun on a carousel was one of the first paintings I did in class at the Boca Raton Museum School of Art. I was so pleased to have it chosen to be displayed as part of their annual juried show.
I revised The Carousel Ride on more than one occasion. There are at least 7 things I changed. Can you find them all?
