Project 365 - Day 18
This is an oil painting of my Grandmother on her wedding day in 1955. It is hanging up near my desk and I enjoy looking at it every day. It used to be hanging in her bedroom and when I was young and would stay with her, I always said how much I loved the painting. She moved into a new, smaller apartment and she was trying to consolidate and get rid of some of her belongings. She gave my Mom, myself and my cousins some of the things we had always wanted instead of having to leave them to us in a will. I love the fact that I get to enjoy the painting now while she's still here instead of receiving it when she passes away.
P.S. Betty - the mouse is STILL here as far as we know! (I'll post the whole story tomorrow or Monday :)
your grandmother is a beautiful woman; I think it was neat she decided to share treasures with family members while she was still living for them to get enjoyment of them and for her to see their joy for receiving the treasures. My mom got married in 1953 and she had that same style of dress/material; must have been popular for that time period.
