happy birthday, grand-mère

Happy birthday Grand-Mère (born 1/5/05)

Oil on canvas, by Ernest Diehlman (http://www.askart.com/.../1001.../Ernest_Benham_Dielman.aspx)

I have other works by this artist, drawings in chalk and pencil, of my grandmother and my mother, when she was a baby. Family friend or just favorite local artist? He lived in Santa Barbara, where my grandmother’s mother lived.
