Aunt Ginny, 12" x 16", Oil on 20 gauge metal, November 26, 2013 While in New Orleans, Tom worked on his NOLA motif but came up not with what he discovered in their last visit, a woman on a balcony, but paintings of the friends and family in the NOLA scene. Getting ready for Aunt Ginny’s visit, Tom told daughter and her cousin that Aunt Ginny was the closest thing to Jacquelyn Onassis they would ever meet. She was smart, poised, beautiful, quite, polished, the perfect mother. She arrived and was all that and more. A great visit after her driving up the hour or so from Pax Christian. Cold, windy and raining, we stay in the room and had pizza while Tom painted her knitting blankets for her new great grandchildren. She brought some books from their sailing days and Tom selected three. They remember her husband, Tom's uncle, who died this time six years ago.
