Arctic Norway 4000 BCE

This is an oil painting that mom, Pat McReynolds, painted after one of her trips to Norway.  Her father Jose (Grandaddy) was from the island of Negros in the Philippines and her mother Ruth (Nana) was from Norway.  Mom loved to travel, visiting the Philippines and Norway on more than one occasion to connect with distant relatives.  Whenever and wherever she traveled, as an art historian, she would fully immerse herself in the culture of the region which would then fuel subsequent creative endeavors, namely her painting and writing.
