There is also some discussion concerning her work on the following site. Vintage Home (http://vintage-home.blogspot.com/2007/03/childhood-days-as-promise-of-spring.html) Does the one that you have look the same as the one of the baby sleeping that is displayed there?

similair but not the same. It is my sisters painting and she has no access to computers or digitel camera and lives 1200 miles away. I am trying to help her determine if she has anything of value. It definitely says on the back "Sweet Dreams" and the baby is on a blanket with a bottle. I wonder if it is an original or a reproduction... we are not art knowledgeable

Most chances are, is that it's not an original. But, even if it is only a print, it can have a fair monetary value. There may be some out there that are pretty good as far as a monetary value.

Reproduction prints by that artist appear to be for sale all over the Internet.

In searching the sites suggested I have not found the particular painting. The one I have is a brown haired baby with rosey red cheeks sleeping on a white pillow, her gown/top is white, with a white blanket with blue trim, and a bottle by her arm on the pillow. The background is ivory/ beige color with gentle blue brush marks throughout. Her head, pillow and bottle are 'raised up' from the paper as if there is stuffing under them so they are like embossed if that makes sense. In the center at the bottom is type printed "Sweet Dreams".
