Is this a friend? The reason I ask is that if I had ever had a daughter of my own I wanted to name her 'Ana Rose' and with the same spelling after my Grandmother, your great grandmother who I called 'Nana' and whose middle name was Rose. I always thought 'Ana Rose' was a beautiful name. I didn't want to name a girl 'Hilda Rose' as 'Hilda' was Nana's first name and not a favorite or popular name anymore if ever, but by dropping the 'N' from Nana and adding her middle name I ended up with the pretty name of 'Ana Rose' and thus a girl in the family would be named after your great Grandmother on your father's side. I ended up with a step daughter and a foster daughter as well as two sons, but never a daughter of my own. I guess I was just surprised to see the name at the bottom of one of your drawings/paintings. I imagine she is a friend? I love your work here. So I am always checking it out. I was wondering since you are in England have you ever tried to contact your great grandmother's sister - Peggy? She is still alive I believe. I think your Dad called your great grandmother 'Nana Pat' as Patterson is her last name by a second marriage and he didn't know her as well as I did. I am just curious...?
