This is a stunning portrait. The expression and eye contact you've captured is great, but it is also a wonderful study of colour and composition.

Isn't it amazing the knowledge and the truth that our grandparents impart to us and upon us. How they so much form the shape of your soul. She is beautiful. I lost my "Grandma Bunny" in January and the hole she left still hurts. Never did anyone else believe in me like that.
