Yesterday I posted a double portrait of my mom and my Aunt Edy. Tonight I am posting a close-up of my aunt, cropped from the double portrait. This was done some years ago with acrylic paint used as watercolor, based on a small snapshot (2 x 3 inches, black and white). I think I managed to get a pretty good likeness of Edy, as well as of my mom. With art, sometimes you just get lucky. In life also, and I was lucky to grow up the way I did, with my parents, my aunt and uncle, my grandmother, and my cousin in one big house. I like to say I was raised by a committee, and I am very glad Aunt Edy was part of that committee.
