Joy Portraits I

Eddy, Joy’s brother, in one of their visits to the seaside;

Joy painted her husband Don a few times, (…) This one painted when he was 70;

…

Ray, one of Joy’s two nieces

“He is the kindest, most caring man I know, and he takes care not only of me (…)”

(…) painted “Just for the hell of it”. An outstanding piece for only that reason to do it …

Don’s father affectionately known in the family as “Pap-boy”. His portrait places him at the island cottage on Eel’s Lake;

Don proudly presented in his military togs, with his characteristic jaunty smile of congeniality.

While preparing for her newspaper interview, Joy posed on the front steps with a portrait of her mom and dad.

… it is fun to note Joy’s good humour in having her age features unchanged …

An undated self portrait of Joy with red hair (…) is characteristic of many of Joy’s portraits…
