Baba 2, Maria Kovalenko Leysens

I started a new group of paintings about Baba's. My Baba was a strong woman who I have great respect for. I did some paintings of her a few years ago and started some other Baba pictues this past week.
You can visit my blog to see the others.

Maria, this reminded me of my Bubba! In thoses days, I think women had to be strong to survive. Hope we get to see more.
