The Art of Matilija 09


This particular shot, is of one corner section of the wall in the den. Of particular note, the drawing of the Lil dutch girl, was done by Elizebeth Phister, age 14----done in colored chalks, on the back of a brown paper bag---later she married my father, and became my mother.----oooh, the Italian Ball Mask is kinda a unique touch, don't ya think?

  1. I love the painting. I didn't even know it existed.

  2. I should mention that Tish was kind enough to go to the expense of having it properly fixed, matted and framed. I keep forgetting you have never been here to the House.

  5. All of your artwork is unique and lovely.

    How wonderful you have a painting/drawing made by your mother. What a treasure!

    I like the folk arty framed art as well in this shot.
