It is this painting that symbolizes to Penelope the ties between the generations. It is the link between the past, the present, and the future.

International shipments are double boxed with shipping paperwork attached to the outside of the box using a special envelope. And a complete duplicate of all the paperwork packed inside the outer box in case the attached set wanders off.
