Thanks Beth,
I will try to see what painting are there.
I would also loved to find a painting of the lady from around Calico Rock ,
Her name was Emma Drowns, I think,.
Yes I have many happy memories of Aunt Cora and watching her paint. She was
a joy.
I'm not sure about her art education but she taught Art in the 1930 on a
work progran during the depression. A aunt of my late husband attended the
classes.

I think one reason I treasured my time with my greataunt Cora was I was not
lucky enough to had grandparents. I was 3 when my last grandparent passed.

I do treasure the paintings I have, especially the baptistery, of my Aunts.
Her colors are so bright in her works. She was quit a pioneer with her art
work.
