Description
Watercolor pencil on paper, by Conni Schaftenaar.
Several years ago this wonderful lady died at 92 years old. She was our "adopted" grandma, and we loved her very much. Her daughter took a great photo of her a few years before (at an apple fest, hence the earrings!) and had sent me the electronic file of it, along with others, when we were planning her 90th birthday party. I was doing the invitations and some fun stuff like mugs with her likeness for everyone. I just loved that photo and I've looked at it many times thinking I'd like to paint it. I finally decided to use watercolor pencils and this is the result. Miss you a lot, dear lady!
