Hello Joanne and Marilyn,
I have attached a .pdf of the postcard for the exhibit in which the portrait of the little boy with raspberries on his fingers appears – it’s made quite a hit!
I have also attached an image of the portrait as it appears in the gallery. We have used a combination of original artifacts and reproductions to tell the story of how childhood has changed – and stayed the same – in American culture over the last four centuries. If you happen to be in the area during the summer and would like to visit the museum, please let me know and I will be sure to leave your name(s) at the reception desk so you can come in as our guest(s).
Our web address is http://www.wenhammuseum.org/.

About Marilyn Jacobson
Hi! I'm Marilyn. I'm the woman in the middle picture at the top of the page.
Life is such an adventure! Before retirement, I was a Social Worker in a cancer center. I had the priveledge of working with people in all conditions of life: birth, joy, sorrow, conflict, problem-solving, decision-making, end-of-life, reconciliation, hope.
After retirement, I discovered I have a talent for portrait painting! My goal as a portrait painter is capturing the personality of people and pets in paintings. I think I'm able to do this because of my Social Work experiences. I have painted many commissions of people and pets, usually from a photograph. If needed, two or more photographs can be combined into one painting. My pictures usually tell a story, or there's a story behind them....
And just for fun, I also create other art in addition to portraits. I hope you enjoy my paintings as much as I enjoy creating them. Capture a special memory or occasion with a beautiful painting!
