Great-Grandmother is a portrait of my great-grandmother, who is 94-years-old. Every ounce of detail in this painting allows viewers to see all the emotions she has felt and the hardships she has gone through. She has been through ups and downs, yet she still wakes up with a smile on her face and joy in her eyes. This painting is the most realistic portrait I have made, and from the wrinkles on her face to the glimmer in her eyes I made sure to include all the appropriate highlights and shadows.
