Pencil study



This week's topic on Illustration Friday is 'Ageing'. I remembered this pencil drawing of my Nona, my Italian grandmother, that I did years ago, when she was 95. I particularly liked the faraway expression.

The light pencil on her face makes her skin seem very thin, fragile, and...old. Her expression reminds me of my grandmother in her last years. It's very beautiful, both for the technique and the emotion.

Rejoice in every melody you heard, the smiles you shared with strangers,

the blissfully simple laugh of a child, the spun sugar clouds waltzing

through a patch of topaz sky. Now snuggle into your favorite pillow

and be filled with warmth and perfect peace. Car insurance
