I have contacted the artist. So far no responce. The picture was not numbered, he might have been a student at the time.. will let you all know. Look for a future post if I ever hear.

I have enjoyed everyone's memories !

Wonderful! A great connection with your mother and grandmother. You're so lucky this was passed down to you. :D

This was purchased in the 1980's in a Berea Kentucky. I just don't know about any relatives. I have named her though.

Grace. Not Gracy but Grace. Those glasses puts a very business like quality to her.

She is my guilt buddy, companion.
Thank you all for commenting !

What a neat pic. Reminds me of watching the older ladies at church, including my grandmother, quilt.
