Angela's Mom

A portrait I drew for Angela, a great mentor who has taught me what I needed to know about reliability compliance in the power industry, a gift to a really good friend.
Her mom passed away not too long ago, and I could only relate with the recent loss of my aunt in my family.
I didn't want to mail this to her, so I brought it with me to Seattle earlier this week attending a conference Angela and the compliance team organize every 2 years. I handed this drawing to her, tears started rolling. My eyes were wet too thinking about my TuaEe, and I know that this is probably one of the good ways to remember the loved ones that have left us.

I already have a few more projects lined up, so stay tuned. As always, thanks for visiting and for all your lovely comments.

  3. Alex, this is an exceptionally beautiful portrait. My mother died very unexpectedly just a few days ago so this really resonated with me.

    1. I am blessed to have Angela as a friend too. :) She pretty much taught me what I needed to know in what I do for living right now, and she's a great teacher with lots of patience. Thanks
