A painting my mom did


"Gabriola"
Oil on board
9 x 12
1979

I was really pleased my cousin, Bonnie, gave me this painting my mother did. I have the first painting she ever did but no others. My mother took up painting quite late in life when they were retired on Gabriola Island. This looks like the view in front of their home. I like the impressionistic style and the way she did the sandstone She just called it "Gabriola".
