My grandmother, Vida Ruth, I’m guessing late 1920’s. Her dress and hat certainly look like the Roaring 20’s. And one of the few pieces of china she painted I’m fortunate to have.

I started with the old family photo (clipped to Linear FotoBlendz 4-2) and my photo of the china dish (clipped to Disquiet FotoBlendz 1-3). I placed Antiquity Artsy Paper 2 below for the foundation. I added Overlays, Transfers, Paint from the Palette above the foundation, plus ArchiTextures 6-1 brush with portions erased. Embellished with Palette Elements (adjusted hue of the rose), UrbanThreadz, WordART, Beaded Threadz, Antiquity brushes and a pale lilac Photo Filter. I finished with title, journaling and a Radial Gradient Fill (purple/peach), blend mode Soft Light, lowered Opacity.
