My mother's maiden name is Cameron, as in the Cameron Gas & Oil business in Toledo, Ohio. The four sisters grew up in the Great Depression (1929 - 1939) without much by way of money, as the gasoline company was forced out of business by Standard Oil.
All four sisters are talented, each in her own way. My aunt Alma painted watercolors, a stack of which I found when I was packing up the old homestead. Here are a few from those paintings I still have, and which were scanned in with my new printer / scanner.

Wow.
ReplyDeletePeople that can paint with oils and acrylics are a dime a dozen. But water colours? There are very few that can do it well. That one with the evergreens along the brook is spectacular.
Artists that can do acrylics and oils are a dime a dozen. People that can do water colours - and do them well - are much fewer and farther between. They are darned tough to work with and that is about as good as it gets! I wish I had kept up with my artistic impulses...
