"This is a painting I did of my Mom and her sister Mary.

 Helen Klopp (Pryor) Christensen, and Mary Elizabeth (Pryor) Hill, in 2006.

It's in soft pastels and is about 18x24".

 (Mary had suffered a stroke and was paralyzed on one side,

thus the slight expression of disconnection.)

Mary passed away in 2006, so this is a memorial portrait of her."
