Portrait of Baba

Portrait of Baba

A sweet portrait of my grandmother to document a wonderful day and a wonderful woman.

5×7 watercolor in the collection of Sherry Bass.

I impressed myself with the simplicity and yet the representation of her likeness. I’m especially proud of her slightly rosy cheeks and blondish grey hair.

The splattering started out simple, then accidentally had big drop of water dripped down. So, I went with it, adding more drops and lightly blowing while tilting the paper.
