The painting "Amiga AV" is in honor of a dear friend who survived a car crash 12 years ago. AV , plus 2 other girl friends & I shared a common history of taking care of our moms in their golden years, in our homes, until they passed from old age! It is a warm sorority of sisters from different mothers. AV survived her accident with reconstructive surgery plus extensive rehab therapy, & she regained a perfect set of teeth. I painted only her facial features in November 2021 & the painting remained untouched since . I returned to this painting on March 26,2022 & I enjoyed painting her hair of varying shades & colors. What a great fascinating liberating exercise for my new eyesight!
All these portraits are sublime and capture a unique personality too. They are so alive. You could enjoy looking at them for hours on end. Including the portrait of the hernia.
