What a lovely idea for a calendar. Some look so much like the original.

Marvellous and quite moving in a way.

That is so lovely. I hope to home manages to raise a lot of money.

Those residents must be so proud of the work. Well done to the care staff for making it happen.

Just fantastic, Pasta!
Reminded me of the lady painting those who had helped her through cancer treatment.
I'll try a link and apologies if someone has and I missed it.

Thanks for those gness...she has a real talent. I hope she publishes her book.

[Mamyalynne]

What wonderful paintings, she has captured their personalities beautifully.

[gness]

Hope she does too, Pasta. I'd like to buy it if she does. If you or anyone sees it for sale and I don't a heads up would be nice. x

That’s a wonderful idea , I agree

Surely they are photos, Mamya.
I like them, great idea

[roopower]

What a lovely idea.

Christ, Pasta, if my Mater's Home did this, she would end up looking like a female Rembrandt in old age.....

[Mamyalynne]

My comment was regarding the paintings in Gness's link Barry.

[DTCwordfan]

Nice idea but maybe my Mater would end up looking like a Rosetti painting:

Two great links, thanks Pasta & Gness :-)

[pastafreak]

Do you mean Rembrandt himself DT?
Maybe suggest it as a fundraising project?

[pastafreak]

Ah, the tragic pre-Raphaelite model Lizzie Siddal.
Not a good ending.

[burlyshirley]

Aww I think that's lovely and agree with Mamya, very moving.

Rembrandt himself, ugly b--ger that he turned out to be..... https://images-eu.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/51HkVF1ov5L._SX218_BO1,204,203,200_QL40_ML2_.jpg
