This is page 2 of the archive pages, which contain historical artwork from my family. Most works lack specific details such as, where the works were painted, and most have no title, although they have either been affecionately referred to as something, or I've called them something or another through my childhood. I've included what information I know about them based on what I've been told. In the event that anyone has information or images of works that I lack here, or corrections to what I've written, please click on Contact Me above and send me a note.
These pages are works of my Great Grandfather, Thorwald Soma.
