Oil on linen, 16×20″

Artist comment:  “This painting of my mother was probably one of the more difficult paintings I have ever done.  But I had wanted to paint her for a long time, and I have to say that it was worth every minute I spent on it.  This painting gave me a chance to spend time with my mom in a very different way, and the payoff is…  she likes it!”

Artist update:  My mom, Victoria, passed away on August 29, 2022.  I will always be grateful for the gift of art that she gave me.  See my blog post at https://www.dianerussell.net/my-mom-victoria/
