This is my Nana's home in Palo Alto, Ca - 1964. I have so many precious memories of the time we spent together in her kitchen, studio, and garden.  My favorite!!

Here's a black and white photo of me standing on the porch in my little white hoodie.

A path in the woods - 1954

I'm looking for a different frame for this one.

Close up of the little village at the end of the path.

I'm sure this is why I love pink roses  - 1964.

I like this one, but don't love it.  Maybe it's because it looks too hot and there's too much sky.  It's also the largest of the group and I don't have a place to hang it.

I love this part.  Would it be awful if I cut it down and framed just this section?

This one is the smallest of the group and another favorite of mine because of the style.  Her signature disappeared years ago when my aunt trimmed it down so it would fit inside this frame.

God Bless Our Home.

I'd love to have the real-life version of this cabinet and the contents.

Can I have three favorites?  This is one of many coastal towns she painted over the years. Born and raised in Massachusetts, it's no surprise that she loved painting these quaint little towns.

I want to live here!
My Nana's paintings were divided among all the family members when she passed away in 1975.  I feel so blessed that these have made their way into my heart over the past 40 years.  Do you have a family treasure you'd never part with?
