<<She is pretty. What style of clothes is she wearing? >> Thank you Jill, I think she is pretty too. This picture was taken around 1900, so I guess you could call the dress Victorian. Her husband had just died too, so that color may have been black. The collar is kind of fancy for a mourning dress, though. When her husband (my grandfather) died, she had two babies and one on the way. She named my father after his dead father. He was only two when he died. She remarried 6 years later and that man was the only father her boys knew. Anne
I guess you would call this a really mixed media. It started with a spoof my kids and I did down by the Emmetsburg, Iowa 5 Island Lake with my old Nikon and some ideas from Monet. That was a colored slide I had in Kodachrome. I then scanned it and worked it in Photoshop Elements for a while on a huge monitor with fancy touch controls and a huge supply of brushes, that one of my clients had. He printed that on photo paper as a huge 3ft X 5ft print. I liked the way it looked, partcularly in the small details, that I could nit see in the slide. So I printed small sections onto canvas and I have been painting with my acrylics over those. Who knows what mixed bag I'm going to end up with here.
Did you ever get an answer to the question: Where is White Sands? I found your question under my photo. There's a HUGE rectangle on the map that is White Sands Missile Range in Southern New Mexico.
White Sands National Monument is on the edge of that. It's incredibly beautiful.
. . . and I remember Lolita. What a little twit!! That was really a fun movie. Do I remember that there was one scene that was filmed in Shay's Castle up in the hills in Antelope Valley? Maybe my memory is playing tricks.
