Postscript to Layered Taffeta

Remember the bookmark I painted for friend Daisy to be tucked in the book at her family’s ancestral home—the book with a photo of a painting done by Florence Hosmer, and the ancestral home where the original portrait also resides?

Well!

Daisy had occasion to visit said ancestral home a few days ago and brought along the bookmark so as to officially flag the page in My Dear Girl where the painting of Auntie Ellen is featured.

Before doing so, she held the bookmark up to the original portrait and snapped a photo for me.

Did I nail it or what!

SUCH a satisfying art undertaking.

      Thanks, Carol—I was so excited and pleased to see this photo, with the bookmark held up directly against the original painting!
