My grandmother, Alice, passed away this week after a long bout with dementia. This painting is based off of a photo of her from 1950, right after the birth of my mother (sorry to date you Mom!). She was a very kind, independent, and complicated woman, and I wish I had been able to spend more time with her. She had a great laugh and she will be missed. This one's for you with love, Alice. Rest in peace.
I'm so sorry to hear that... it's a gorgeous portrait of her.
