Portraits by my mother Agota Szabo

I still haven't quite been able to figure out how and what this blog should look like, what it's content should be precisely and it still remains to be seen whether having two blogs and a G+ will only complicate the possibility of getting a sizable audience or not. Another horrendous outlook concerning this blog is the prospect of writing about myself. Reader, there are some goals I want to achieve but bragging about having clapped in an audience as an extra in a film is not quite one of them. It's an achievement of sorts, I suppose, it was extremely exciting at the time, and I imagine it is a piece of a puzzle that composes this Portrait of a Woman.

 
 
There we go. Little Giselle's real life portrait surrounded by her mother, Agota Szabo's paintings. My mother is a painter. She is an exceptionally talented one as well. Ah, yes, hence derives this portrait idea for Agota Szabo, among other paintings, has a remarkable portfolio of portraits she painted in the past. Have I mentioned this photo was taken when then Broadcast News, now Canadian Press journalist Peter Rakobowchuk, father of Giselle Rakobowchuk, still lived with us? Oh, I mustn't forget to mention his Twitter account @Peter_R_Space which is often mentioned in his recent news articles. My, my. What a popular fellow.
