This painting of trees makes me think of one of her favorite painters, Edvard Munch. I love the palm trees and ocean inserted into the background, and the squirrel in the foreground.
This painting was a surprise to me when we pulled it out of her closet. It is a highly stylized view out the front window of my former Park Slope, Brooklyn apartment. I love the collage elements and how she transformed a fairly brown and gray landscape into this colorful, playful street scene. I lived in Brooklyn for over ten years — while I went to Parsons School of Design and after. Mom visited me quite often, but I never knew she took photographs of this view or did this painting.
This is a quite large-scale painting of a very familiar local view — what one sees when crossing the Royal Palm Bridge from Palm Beach into West Palm Beach. Of course not everyone is lucky enough to see a gigantic flying silver fish.

These are amazing Liz! Love them all, especially how the foliage in the Park Slope painting has an almost tropical feel. Hope this finds you all well.
I agree, they are amazing...!
Thanks, ladies! We are well. Hope your holiday season is full of fun. Going on this journey with my mom is full of all kinds of surprises. Luckily some of them are cool discoveries like these paintings. I'll have to post some of the older things I'm finding, too, like drawings she did of my brother and me when we were babies : )
