Bonjour cher Anthony,
ReplyDeleteUn très bel hommage à votre maman... Une très jolie femme.
Gros bisous
So beautiful, and I love her posture, you have her eyes, if not the colour (I can't tell) what a lovely way to tell her how much you love her
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteWe do have the same coloring including the eyes.
I simply adore these wonderful portraits of your beautiful mother...they carry such a powerful sense of a bygone era.
ReplyDeleteOh how I would love to have met her then.:)
I am enjoying doing these sketches from the old photos and seeing the changes in this way over time. Unlike just viewing the photos, the time spent sketching has me thinking of what her life was like in each of the years. She is still doing well, now in her 90’s, though her memory has been fading over the last few years.
