Zugspite

When we moved to America, my grandmother came out and joined us in South Carolina for several months. She was fascinated by a painting we had bought from a local artist in Ramstein of the Zugspite.

The next thing we knew grandmother was buying oil paints, brushes and canvas - then working night and day to try and capture that scene. Well, it kept her off of the streets anyway...

As she lie in her retirement home, she asked me to please bring this painting and hang it for her. It was her favorite. Certainly not her best however, but the one which started her off on a 30 painting career.
