Fantastic work and a great image you've created here :)

it is a tragedy when you lose someone you love, my own mother recently fought and won the battle against cancer (in remission now)..... but your nonna is in the place that she most treasured of you - your heart - and she will live on in your memories and your dreams and who knows might even inspire a pixel in your work... this is a wonderful tribute to a strong woman who obviously had influence in you, because you are doing something you love... :-)

Wow, Uwe, you captured her joyful and loving spirit forever in this exquisite portrait. How pleased her family must be with the rememberance of her. You are a truly gifted artist and are so deserving of the AOM award. Have a wonderful and propserous New Year. :CC
