REMEMBERING BLANCHE, MAMAN

It was in 2001 on the 21st of August in London that Blanche, the beautiful, wonderful, unique individual who happened to be my mother, left this world. I celebrate her now and always. Below: Blanche in the 1940s, and in France with my older sister Annie and me.

And here's a slideshow I made in 2014 with some of Blanche's paintings. She began painting in 1994 and had her first and last exhibition aged 95.
