Generations of Family Art - Part 3

Fabric Waxing 1969 Mary Cooper

My brother & I attempted our adventures with drawing in our teen years with school art classes.

I found some pictures & my brother sent me a few of his drawings he had in his possession.

My mother wrote in her calendar pages, that I took some advanced recommended art classes during the summer of 1967. I was so surprised by this oil painting I had forgotten about.

This painting was even seen in the local newspaper with my mother's comments on the clip out. I found the clipping first & found the painting later after digging in some labelled boxes.

I continued with art classes in Junior High in California.
