I took many photos, but chose which I would use as references to paint from solely on their artistic possibilities, rather than a record of my travels in Latvia and Lithuania. There are several paintings from one farm visit with many others unrecorded. There are no paintings of the many beautiful national parks, castles, and historic places that we saw. - Marcia Wegman
