Ancestors



During the past year, I've been looking through family histories on the "Family Search" website. I love looking through the memories section, regarding specific ancestors on my family tree. So, I bought a whole bunch of 8 x 8" panels, and started painting people that have interesting life histories. My mom's side of the family came to the United States from England and Wales. My dad's family is Swedish, and Danish. There is one stray Norwegian in the clan. This has been good painting practice, using my naive, decorative style. It would be fun to make this into a children's book.
