Two Sisters (Detail)


Two Sisters (Detail)
Originally uploaded by randubnick

This is a portrait of my aunt, my mother's sister.  Tonight I cropped this image out of a painting that I did back in the 1990s.  The painting is called "Two Sisters," and is a double portrait (my mother and my aunt).  I posted the original painting back on July 12, 2005.  The painting, done in acrylics used as water media paint, was based on a snapshot taken back in the forties. I always thought this was a pretty good likeness of my aunt, and captures the essence of her smile.  I am posting this today because today is my aunt's ninetieth birthday!
