Description
I drew this from a very small photo of my grandmother--(I used to call her Gramcracker). Very few photos of her were availablle. I made copies of my drawing and gave them as gifts at Christmas time to members of my family in California. My sketch of 'My Grandma' brought smiles and tears to some of those present. It was a very rewarding experience. Others who knew her asked for prints too.

Hi Marlene. I really this drawing of your grandma. I love her expression, and her eyes. I can really feel the emotion that you felt for her in your drawing.

Marlene, your graphite portrait drawings are outstanding! You must be quite versatile, because your colorful paintings are also great. Thanks for your kind comments on my work.
