Ruth Adams Packard Dukkony in 2007 with the portrait painted of her by Bjorn Egeli in 1962This portrait was painted in our living room.  Mother sat in one of her dining room chairs, up on a platform so that she would be at Mr. Egeli's eye level.  The portrait was done entirely from live sittings, weeks of them to my 6-year-old's recollection.  Mr. Egeli gave me a set of pastels and taught me a little about drawing.Closer views of the portrait of Ruth Packard by Bjorn EgeliCloser views of the portrait of Ruth Packard by Bjorn EgeliSignature by B.
