Nan and Grandad


I went to my Art Group last night. I haven't been for a couple of weeks as i've felt totally underwhelmed with the whole painting thing. I grabbed a water colour pad, some paints and a couple of pics and this is what i came up with. Its not a fantastic likeness of my nan and grandad lol, but i enjoyed sketching and painting it. My nan passed away last year and my grandad in June this year.....maybe by painting them i was trying to heal some wounds! Maybe my down feelings lately have been partially grief. My posts are so doom and gloom these days :)
