hi i love this ladys face beatiful portrait dfrom paula

This moves me greatly. Not just because of its technical accomplishment, but also because it reminds me of my own mother and her wistful gaze towards the end of her days. You've done this lady a great service.

So sad but very well executed Gerhard.

A beautiful portrait, a classic!

Watercolour on Arches 300gsm rough, 43cm x 54cm Sometimes it takes a while before you can approach a personal subject. This portrait is probably the last one I'll do of my late mother and will be on display at the Campbelltown Rotary Art Exhibition in May. I spent my youth in Athelstone and Campbelltown and went to the high school there before they tore it down. It's good to recall the past occasionally - even therapeutic.
