Granny Hart the Artist

My paternal grandmother was Merphia Ewing. She married Paul Bryan Quillin. They later divorced, and she married Oscar Hart. Most of my life, I called her Granny Hart. Here she is holding me when I was not quite a year old. On the wall above us is a painting that she did for my mother. We often vacationed in Colorado, and this was Mother's favorite scene. Granny painted it for Mother by using a slide picture taken on our vacation. It is still in my possession and is now hanging at our lake house at Possum Kingdome Lake.
