Chet's Forgotten Corner

Hanging on the wall in one of my guest bedrooms is a painting done by my Grandmother back in the 1970's.




On the back, she wrote:





Today, while scanning her slide collection, I came across this, dated June 1969:



On the slide frame, the only writing is "Mo.", and I'm assuming she took the photo in the Show Me state. The slide is shown in the 'correct' orientation, and I can only surmise she reversed it to create the painting.

I know of one other painting she did using a photo she took, the slide for which I've scanned, but I don't know which family member has the painting.


I thought it was cool that 35 years later, the slide and painting are reunited.

Nice photo too. Interesting story. I love the painting.
