Painting by Jeannette Andress copyright © 2014
In my family (if you recall the photo I recently posted) I have two wonderful sisters, each of whom I love and adore. Each are also very talented. Today my sister, Jeannette sent me a picture of her latest painting. She used a photograph taken by her son (an excellent photographer) of his children in a flower garden, as her models.
I’m sure you will agree with me this is one beautiful painting, and I am immensely proud of her. The photo is shown here with great pride and love.
Jeannette, my wonderful and beautiful sister you are exceedingly talented!
All my love to you,
Penny
The Why About This 
This is so very beautiful! It seems the entire family is exceedingly talented! 🙂
Our family is lucky to be gifted with talent and a few brains as well. My younger sister, wow what she can do with any computer program (and she was there at the beginning of it all) Oops, bragging again! Thank you LuAnn I agree with you. 🙂
Gosh, I am highly flattered. Love you more.
Nope, love you morest!!!!!
It is beautiful. I too thought, on first sight, that it was a photo selectively coloured. Talented lady your sis. 🙂
Thank you. Yes I agree, It’s when you get close up you can see it’s actually a painting. Yes she is, very! 🙂
Very lovely painting!
Hi Barb. Thank you very much dear friend!
AnElephantCant hide his admiration
For Jeannette and the picture she drew
And on top of it all
He seems to recall
That sweet Penny can draw and paint like magic too
Thank you for your generous praise. Jeannette really surprised her family as none knew she was painting this until it was done (even her son). He’s a proud son now though! 🙂 xo
She absolutely is very talented. She has been a great mentor
And my sister is a sweetheart, b. for saying such nice things! As far as being a mentor, her talent was already there, just waiting to come out! 🙂
What you do, my wonderful lady, you do so well.
Whether it is mentoring, sistering, or taking care of AnIrasciblePinkElephant, no one comes close to you.
AnElephant adores Penny, always.
Thank you Mr. PinkElephant! xo
AnElephant has been privileged to see Penny’s work.
Now he understands that the talent is family-wide.
He is honoured to make your acquaintance.
And has no explanation for speaking in the 3rd person.
That’s truly magnificent. It seems everyone in your family is talented in one way or another. Photography, painting, poetry. writing. Amazing.
Yeah,yeah and we’re cute and lots of fun to hang out with too – more to the point! But I do thank you Alastair, and am very proud of my sister and her son as well! 🙂
This is stunning. I agree with your assessment! Love the jux of b/w with color – beautiful and interesting. (her son is also has a keen eye)

Thank you Ann, and yes Todd (the son) does have a very keen eye! Again sincere thanks, my friend! 🙂
Yea, Penny, indeed a beautiful painting. At first glance, I thought it is a photograph.
