Third Generation Artist

In case some of you wonder what I mean when I say I am a third generation artist...

Both of grandmother's did artwork.

My father's mother painted large abstract murals- I have never seen one.

But on occasion when I was little my Dad would look at artwork I was creating and freak out because it looked just like some of the artwork his mother used to make, artwork I had never & still have never seen.

My mother's mother painted mostly wall art in oils. She did tons of portraits.

She painted our whole big Sicilian family multiple times:

I think each of her 14 grandchildren have a hallway in their home where you can see them grow up on canvas (age 3, age, 6, age, 12, etc.)

She also did many sepias of Hollywood movie stars (some are on display at the Lighthouse Cinema in Pacific Grove, California).

My Mother owned art supply stores when I was growing up. I was an art store brat- always hanging around the frame room & sitting in on classes from the several instructors who taught there. She always liked to try lots of different styles & mediums- she did not sell her work, creating art was a pastime.

My father is an architect, sculptor, and amazing artist.

I would like to show you some of his work, as he actually has some online:
