This is just a beautiful creation! Its just enormous. What a find! Hard to believe that it wasn't known that she made it!! Thank you for sharing. Maybe an older Aunt or Uncle might know or remember her working on it.
@jjgonfam Amazing,eh? Not even her sister (whom she saw all the time) knew about this. Mother died at 85, and I filled the funeral home with her oil paintings, which were also done "in secret." Everyone was (suitably) amazed. People of her generation (maybe) saw art as an unimportant sideline to "real" life. Ironically, her art was the most lasting of her legacies, and the things I (an only child) hold as most precious.
Beautiful!
