Grandmother and Granddaughter

Grandmother and Granddaughter

Commissioned by Amaia Allende.
This double portrait was commisioned by Amaia and shows her mother and her neice smiling and drinking champagne. I was fascinated by the older woman’s skirt, trying to achieve the glint of taffeta against the deep black background.
