As the world mourns the death of one of the most beautiful woman inside and out - Ruth Bader Ginsburg, I ran across an old painting I painted a little over 2 years ago.
As all my paintings are metaphysical and done with no intent, I was surprised at the time to see a woman's profile emerge.
And as with all my paintings upon completion the title merely pops into my head
In this case the title appeared as "Memories of Quest For Better Life Fulfilled"
I paint a lot.
I did not give the painting much thought until yesterday when I ran across a digital image of it, and I thought wow that looks exactly like Ruth.
Now until the horror that has befallen on us in the White House I have never had any interest in politics or the machinations of the legal system.
Ruth Ginsburg until this time had merely been a familiar name.
I knew nothing at all of her including her brilliant work on women's rights.
So I looked at the painting and thought I wonder if she ever wore red lipstick and researching it found it was at least at one time one of her trademarks.
Doing a little more research I even found this photo with her wearing the same
double drop earrings as in the painting
You also see her signature eyeglasses in the painting and one of the best parts is you see a double image of her head in the space of her heart with a line full of women climbing up the pathway she has made for them to a higher future and life.
And indeed she fulfilled her quest to provide a better life for millions of woman.
In memory of Ruth Bader Ginsburg
Rest in Peace Angel

I am a metaphysical painter who has studied spirituality for much of my life.
By metaphysical I mean seeing and knowing things beyond the reach of our ordinary senses.
My method of painting comes from my fascination with psychic phenomena and the future.

Royalty Agreement
Mitro Art Gallery
Daytona Beach, Florida
386-589-2448
Sales Contract, Royalty and Copyright
This is a contract between Artist and Art Buyer, a legal document stating reserved rights of the artist upon sale of art.
1. While purchaser retains total physical property of purchased artwork, artist Katheleen Elizabeth Mitro reserves all copyrights to aforesaid and after mentioned art.
In the event of her death these copyrights will remain the property of her son Alexander William Mitro, until his death when the copyrights will pass into public domain.
2. In appreciation of the value of these arts appreciating greatly, a 7% royalty must be paid to artist
Katheleen Mitro on each subsequent sale of the artwork that results in an increase of sale price,
regardless of how many times painting changes hands.
Each subsequent buyer of each art piece is also bound by this royalty agreement.
The 7% royalty will only be paid on the increase in sales price received and not the base price of the painting.
This means is a painting is bought by you for $150,000 and resold by you for $2,000,000 to another buyer the 7% royalty would only be charged on the $1,950,000 increase in sales price and NOT the entire $2,000,000 sales price.
Which I believe is fair.
In the event of Katheleen Mitro's death these royalties will be paid to her son Alexander Mitro, and upon his death, all royalties will cease.
As the initial sales agreement on the first sale of each painting, these terms will follow through the lifetime of the artist Katheleen Mitro and her son Alexander Mitro regardless of how often the painting is sold and changes hands.
This sales agreement is in effect for all subsequent buyers of each art piece and it's conditions are unbreakable.
