A perfect seat!

This beautiful Amethyst was given to me from a good friend and it traveled with me in my tool box for years until I decided to give it a place to be seen!

I took this picture just to give you some idea of their sizes.

This Fluorite is the other stone my friend gifted me and it was also a part of my tool bag for a long time. I’m so happy to be able to display the now. Don’t they both look comfortable in their new seats?

My new Painting Series

So I've always been interested and drawn to the events, fashion, and women of the 1920s.  My Mom was born in 1923 and I've always wondered what it was like for her growing up as a child of Italian immigrants, unable to speak the language of their new home.

From what I can see from vintage photographs and from movies set in the 20s, it looks like women left the strangle hold of the Victorian age to the Flapper Era and freedom to dance, smoke, drink and speak their minds!

The paintings posted here have been done from vintage photos I found online and from research on fashion colors and interiors.  My future plan is to gather old photos from friends and relatives and work from selected images.
