Jan

My brother (I did their wedding portrait a year or so ago) has a wonderful Mother-in-law who has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer. She is a real jewel. A woman, still working in the yard with a tube in her side for the fluids to drain... living her life to its fullest.

Just from me, I immediately began this portrait and sort of let it lay dormant for a number of months. WHICH was so wonderful, as it has not become a memorial... yet. Now, I am in a watercolor frenzy and remembered the sketch, so today I think I completed it.

12x16" Arches CP 160# block.
