The Lady's Artwork


A couple days ago I wrote about my ancestor Fanny Harwood. This is a piece of her artwork that remains somewhere in the family, tiny pieces of tinfoil, painted and mounted on black velvet. There are two pictures done this way and two other paintings. What a nice little piece of encouragement from the past telling me to keep up with developing any artistic talent I might have. I know its in there somewhere!
