Gwen's Favorite Subjects--Artwork and Jim

"All through school art was my favorite. Even in college, oil painting from Prof. B.F. Larsen was best at BYU."


"I . . .loved painting birds on glass and putting it over wrinkled aluminum foil. . . Bessie Taylor, a neighbor girl, taught me to tint black and white photo portraits. For glossy it was a water tint; for dull finish it was oil."

"As a child I loved to color sample pattern books with crayons. That's what started me on oil and water color portraits of grandkids [later in life]."
