Artist Kay Ameche and Alexander. Pennington's Crop

Hi Mel. The expressions are terrific. Well captured. Maybe a little crop might be an improvement. What do you think?

I couldn't do any more myself, George! I wanted to keep in the paintings! But you did it!! If you don't mind i'll probably post this one instead, or I do a second as Pennington's Crop!! Thank you so much! (I didn't want to ask, really, what was going on in the bubble bath and Brooke!!?!) Thanks again for this so much!

Mama Meli.

Please feel free to use it, if you like. It's yours. I am very pleased that you are happy with the crop.

It's a terric shot.

{Thanks to G Pennington for the crop.} Those are some of her

paintings. She always wore Yellow and was very optimistic! She swam

every day and played the piano, and I met her though my piano

teacher, Eva Redick.

*I found this online: Kay Ameche (101) artist sometimes likened to

Grandma Moses because she began to paint in her 60s, who worked for

many years in Hollywood-area hospitals, often caring for

entertainment industry celebrities, whose first two paintings sold

for $250, and by the early 1990s they were going for $5,000 to

$10,000 each, and who sold paintings to such buyers as Ronald Reagan,

Nelson Rockefeller, George Burns, Katharine Hepburn, and Elton John,

died in Los Angeles on July 26, 2005.

for the record...
