I painted this watercolor for my great-aunt Wanda's 80th Birthday! It is her father and mother circa 1929 during the Great Depression and Prohibition. They lived in Illinois at the time before migrating with their four children to Washington state to work in a cannery. I love my great grandmother's style! It is so 1920-30s flapper girl! I learned a lot about unconditional love from this family. I would have to say the commonality in their blood is kindness and love. I always feel safe when I spend time with this silent generation and I love hearing their stories! Appreciate every moment because that is all we have!
