Grandma Sciotha

This is a sketch I did of my Great Great Grandmother Sciotha Ellen Clark McKinney.  She was also an artist.  I have a painting that she finished in March of 1915.  It is a family treasure and to me it is priceless. As a young boy I always remember seeing her painting hanging in our house and I always thought it was cool.  This sketch is graphite on toned tan paper.

 Here she is sitting at her easel with the painting almost complete.


 This is the full color painting.  It is of the 3 Sisters Mountains near Bend, Oregon.
