Reposting: Two Sisters (Painting)



This is a painting of my mother (left) and my aunt (right),  painted sometime in the 1990s. After my parents died, I found comfort in family photos, and started painting portraits based on them. This is what I said the first time I posted this double portrait here: "This is a detail from a painting of my mother and my aunt.  I did this painting several years ago, from an old snapshot taken in the 1940's, standing in front of our house in Pueblo. I used acrylics as watermedia on watercolor paper.  I like to look at this painting because it captures the essence of my aunt's smiling face, and what I see of my mother when I look at my daughter's face."
