4 x 6 inches, watercolour and gouache, August 2007. This was a commission from and for my friend Erika. It's a portrait of her Grandma who passed away recently. She asked me to paint her and gave me a selection of photos to work from. I loved one of her saying her Rosary - it seemed to say so much about her, her faith and beliefs and the situation. I placed her in a garden setting with a halo of lilies to symbolise purity and sympathy.
