Description
Only in small resolutions an old picture of my dear Aunt Florence who was an inspiration to us all, she was a Londoner who was in all the art societies and travelled abroad, she also knew some very well known artists in former Yugoslavia whome she corresponded with, she was a retired civil servant, died in 1983 aged 81 and in this photo she is only 19yrs old, she gave me this picture herself when I visited her in London, I restored it in Photoshop bringing out her lovely features. I also did a lovely sepia pastel drawing from it for my other Aunt Kay who lived in Portsmouth after my Aunt Flo died and she treasured it I haven't seen my sketch since I last visited my Aunt in the 1990's, Who died in 2008. i would dearly love to have it returned to me whoever has it...I have done a couple in charcoal that are not as good as the true sepia pastel sketch of her, only available in smaller sized prints and greeting cards due to the smallness of the photograph, smallest duvet cover and background framed accessories makes a lovely Edwardian style nostalgic portrait
