My mother and me


 This is my mother, painted in 1942, and  then me, painted by my grandmother when 3 years old.
She was a very very good portraitist...
Her aquarelles  are signed "ASR" - you recognize them immediately, when you have seen them once.

She painted in all Europe,  especially in Belgium and Germany - and also in the United States, especially in Washington political circles.  After WW II the family settled in Quebec, Canada, where she died in 1974.
Especially in Belgium are a  great number of her very best works. Is an old project of mine, to make a collection of them and perhaps organize an exhibition?
