21 Day Challenge - Day 10

My grandma Lottie had Alzheimer's Disease. I remember as a kid having to tell her my name repeatedly. She spent hours seated in front of her large front window, smoothing her hands along the creases of her dress, staring at the sky. One day I sat next to her smoothing my hands along my jeans, trying to see what she saw in the clouds. I was thinking about that day recently and thought how I'd like to capture it somehow. She wasn't wearing a white dress, but I didn't have the heart to paint it any color. White seemed just right. This is just a draft, but you kind of get the idea.

Day 10 Remember Me? Draft 1


From sketch to finish, 70 minutes. I used watercolor paper, pencil, and watercolors.
