My reference was a b&w photo taken in 1932. Oil on canvas

Hi Richard,
How long did it take you to do this painting? She looks very loving and appears to have a very calm and happy disposition from the way you have rendered her.

A very nice tribute to your mother. You know, looking at your photo, I'd say you have your mother's eyes!

Nice portrait Richard! She has a very "knowing" look about her. I like the work on the necklace and you did a nice job on the skin tones / shadows. I know you did one of you mom in her elder years a few months back....will you be hanging them both?
