Great Grandmother Weaver

"Great Grandmother Weaver", acrylic on canvas, 16"x20", (c)12/24/99. This is an old portrait I did of my Great Grandmother Alice Weaver. I first painted a portrait of my Great Grandfather (her husband) for her 90th birthday. (You can view this painting on my site.) She liked the first one so much, she asked that I paint one of her as well. I particularly liked the way this one turned out. She looks very regal, but soft. Grandmother was a very special lady. We miss her very much.

Just I noticed the talent runs in family.

I've never known my grandma, and to do this for them (your grandmother & grandfather) is really amazing.

WHOA, Nessa K. This is an amazing piece. It truly is our Grandmother. She was a special lady. We all have a Grandmama but this lady was a Grandmother. Wonderful artwork. I'm so proud of you.
