BEAUTIFUL LATIN AMERICAN MOTHER AND BABY O/B PAINTING by NM ARTIST DONNA CLAIR

Description

This is an Estate Fresh old Oil on Board Painting of a Mother and her Child done by the listed NM artist Donna Clair.  This piece depicts what I can only assume, is a Latin woman lovingly cuddling her baby.  This piece is kinda heart warming and really nicely done.  It is signed lower rt and dated '83.  It has really good colors and nice brush work in her impressionistic style.  It measures 22"x19" wide framed in what I am sure is the original frame.  Written on the backboard is the name Diane Dal Santo who was the owner of this piece, a much beloved local Judge in Albuquerque.  A lil information on Ms Clair follows:
