Today's picture assignment was "Up". I have been working in my dining room this week. The basement just seems so depressing now that the snow has finally fallen and stuck around. When I look "Up" from my computer, I see this picture.
The picture is called Grace and was first photographed by Eric Enstrom in 1918 in Bovey, MN. I grew up admiring this picture. Seeing it in almost every home of my relatives. I affectionately called this painting and it's female counterpart "Grandma and Grandpa Moses". Not sure why!
This photograph was originally black and white. Later on, Enstrom's daughter added color by painting the photograph in oil paints. She passed away this week. Her passing allowed me the opportunity to read more about this painting.
I took this photo using the Instagram app on my iPhone.
