WOW!! I'm telling you, there is a narrative hiding in this mystery somewhere. It must be written. Very interesting indeed.

Jairus' mom went for a more round leaf, while my mom took a little artistic license with the jagged leaves, but they're clearly painted from the same photograph. I really want to know where and when Jairus' mom got the inspiration for hers.

The inspiration came from a common implanted archtype, perhaps this impalnted archtype was part of the greater machinations of a diabolic psycologist bent on manipulating the minds of the mothers of creative types world wide. His plan will culminate in the production of seemingly unrelated artistic works (BTJ, Jarius' original works, etc. etc.) that are in reality just small peices of a massive opus meant to rule the world.........

or maybe the picture is featured in a Bob Ross "How to Paint a Happy Sunset" how to book.

Sorry, it was right there. They are very cool paintings.

She's kinda dead, so I can't really ask her. My brothers, however, find it all deliciously mysterious and are curious to learn the origin of this coincidence.

So, Jairus, was your mom living in Calif. or here when she borrowed it from her friend and painted it?

Well that's really freaky since my mom was living in Gresham at the time she painted hers.

I think it's probably like Camera #2 said -- it was probably a photograph in some painting book in the seventies...??

You know, my mom was a total packrat and I inherited pretty much everything in her art room when she died. I bet if I looked through her stuff, I could find something having to do with the painting, be it a photograph or sketches or something.

If only all that stuff wasn't in the basement where the spiders and bats live.....
