"CAM" is "Clara Adamina Matynka," our CMZ.
This is a portfolio she made for her Kensington High course "History of Art II."
She started with a couple of pieces of cardboard, some paint, a big fat brush, some grommets, and string.
She scalloped the edges on the liner paper.
It is a big, thick portfolio, but there is nothing in it except a much smaller portfolio containing a small selection of work. Where is the rest of her work?
Next up: the contents of the plain portfolio. But where is the rest of her work?
Also, why did her children only see these things once before her death? Why did she hide all her artwork away in the attic? Why did her children never once see her draw something?

“why did her children only see these things once before her death? Why did she hide all her artwork away in the attic? Why did her children never once see her draw something?” — why, indeed... I don’t think I *ever* saw anything like this of hers! To me, it’s a reminder to not let go of those things that bring you joy, despite the pressures of our lives, and to share it with those around you.
That dog is really great. I showed it to her great granddaughter, who’s becoming somewhat of an art phenom, herself. :)

You are right, Tye. Don't let go. And if you have let go of some precious talent or activity you enjoy, and wish to return to it, don't be shy - go for it.
Who knows - her own mother could have had a bigger influence on her than we realize. I do know that there were unpleasant phone calls from Buffalo to Marilla. My Mom, your Grandma, just kept putting up with them.
So let's see a copy up here on the blog of the puppy portrait! How about it?
