Art Creations Friday - Family Resemblances

When I look at old family photos I am often surprised at finding family resemblances between people now living and those going back three and four generations. I never knew my paternal grandparents. They both died very young and yet I can see my grandmother in the face of my daughter. They were born 100 years apart. I was thinking about this when I saw today's photo.

    I love how you modernized her. And how true. I have a lot of old pictures of family and can see bits and pieces of my boys everywhere.

    I love the way you've compared the old with the "new", Marie! And it true - the past DOES live on in those that currently surround us! Hugs, Terri xoxo

    One of the reasons why i always love it to visit your blog Marie, is how you describe your image. And today you surprised me again !!
    Recently i published a entry with the photo's of me, my mum and my daughter and when i compare us three together, we have the same smile. (and no upper lip LOL)

    You are so right Marie on how family traits, including looks, come right down through the ages, I see it in my own family. You have done your usual magic with this one Marie, and of course, it's interesting and beautiful.
