A good looking personal image posted here, together with relevant notes. Your fine and full composition offers us a good look at her. Nicely created!

Thank you!

A touching / loving tribute to your Grandmother. It sounds like she was an incredible influence for all of those in her life. Did you draw this from a photo? The details and scale are well applied. the drawing offers (along with text) a heartwarming story that so many of us can relate to. My mom suffered a massive stroke last year. She is bedridden in a skilled nursing unit. I'm so sorry for your loss. The balloon launch will be a wonderful event to share memories.

Thank you so much!! She was, and yes I did. Again thank you so much! I'm sorry about that, how is she doing now? And it is a wonderful event but my heart is still kinda heavy about it

Hugs to you and yours - My mom was not expected to survive 6 months and was put on Hospice. Hospice recended their care and now she is in PT learning how to feed herself. My dad (who heavily relied on my mom) has finally moved into assisted living. After 14 months (since my moms stroke) I'm finally able to take a breath and re-engage with my passion for photography.

A wonderful tribute to this beautiful woman who was so special in your life. I love your composition and shading the beautiful expression on her face is such a delight to view. God bless her in heaven. Thank you for sharing your story.

A pretty poignant tribute to your Grandma. I am so sorry for your loss. Glad that she left values and love that will forever be cherished by your family. I love how you have drawn her face, even her demeanor and facial features. Maybe, when you missed someone you can really draw them well. What a beautiful soul. This portrait deserves to be on your wall. Pretty touching tribute. Hug!

Thank you so much! I gave this to my dad and aunt (her children). They both got this picture hanging up on the wall!

WOW! I love the content of your tribute. It made me wish that someday when I'm gone, someone will write those kind of tribute for me. Just a thought.
