This is a portrait (in the making) of my grandmother when she was young.
Her name was Maria but everyone called her Riet. She passed away almost
a year ago and I miss her... While drawing and painting her portrait I realise
how much I (and my mother) look like her. I wish I had know her back then,
when she was my age.
I never heard of Riet as a name before but I really like it. Also, this is a lovely portrait..
