For Alice, 1925 - 2012

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.
