Mavis's Farm



This is the fallen barn on the Mavis's family farmstead located near Washburn, ND. It is dated 6-80. Mavis says that there is nothing left of the barn any more. I love this painting and think it's pretty neat that Mavis has this.

Fishing Trip



This is Duwayne Baranyk on one of their fishing trips to Canada. It is dated 6-81.

Teakettle in the Window



This was a birthday gift for Mavis Baranyk. It is dated 7-10-77. What a great date.

Anasticia Baranyk




Grandma painted this portrait of her mother, but apparantly she was not happy with the result and did not sign or date the painting. I think that it's a beautiful portrait. It is owned by Duwayne and Mavis Baranyk.

Kids Playing Baseball



I love this one. This is a painting of Greg, Terry and Pam playing baseball in their yard in Minot, ND. It's the first time that I've seen this painting. It is dated '64 and '71. I wonder if grandma painted it in 1964, then added to it in 1971?
