Mary Parkes paints Africa

Mary Parkes born in Lodz, Poland in 1927, and is still able to visit the house where she was born from time to time.She  now lives in Verfeil sur Seye, in Tarn and Garonne.
She trained at The Kunst Academy in Dusseldorf and has been an artist all her life. She concentrates on Portrait painting now but finds it very relaxing to sit and paint the cliffs at St. Antonin. She explains that painting portraits is very exacting and tiring, getting every detail just right, so it is nice to relax with a different subject at times. Here she offers a painting done in 2002 which is of Marrakesh in Africa.
