Forever and Ever

Inspired by my turn of the century family photo mats.
Watercolor, acrylic in and pencil on handmade cotton paper. 9 x 12 inches.

Experimenting with my family photos.
This dandy gentleman here is my maternal grandfather from Chile.
I missed you guys!

Not very close to you, I know, but closer than I usually am and in your home country.It was so inspiring to be there, with the color and pagentry of Dias de los Muertos and the warmth of the people. Welcome back.; 11/14/2009 11:16 PM
lil kim said...: wonderful Geninne! great experiment :); 11/15/2009 2:13 AM
Anonymous said...: ¡Hola, Geninne!:

¡Qué bien que has vuelto! ¡Bienvenida! Espero que hayas pasado unos días maravillosos en compañía de los tuyos.

El dibujo de los pájaros es precioso y de un azul realmente alegre y la parte en blanco y negro que hace de marco parece estar hecha de encaje o tallada en madera. Es increíble que consigas esos dos efectos dibujando. Además, en mi opinión, queda muy bien con la foto de tu abuelo.

Muchísimas gracias por seguir compartiendo tu trabajo. No sabes cuánto bien haces con ello.

Que te vaya todo muy bien.

Jennifer said...: Hola Geninne, siempre paso por aquí a maravillarme por tus trabajos y nunca dejo un comentario por mi ingles que es muy malo, pero esta vez me dieron muchas ganas de hacerlo, sobre todo por que vi una palabra que me llamo mucho la atención, que es tu mención sobre tu abuelo Chileno y yo soy Chilena!! y no pude evitarlo, que curioso, a pesar de ser un pais pequeño, siempre alguien lo menciona.
Bueno es maravilloso lo que logras! sobre todo esos detalles hechos a mano como un tallado, precioso!!
