Painting - Acrylic On Canvas
Description
I made the painting nine years ago...it is hard to believe the baby is now taller than the great grandmother cuddling him in this picture.
The image speaks to me of the continuity of family. My mother-in-law is now ninety four. When she held her first great grandchild, she realized he might never remember her, but she cuddled him trying to transmit a lifetime of love and support into that moment.
Happily for both, they have created more moments and precious memories to share.
This painting won a "Special Recognition" in LightSpaceTime's All Women's Exhibit, 2021; and Judge's Choice in Portrait, Northern Lights Gallery, 2022

Dear Merana, thank you for sharing the preciousness of family in this FAV painting. I loved my maternal grandparents and have such wonderful memories of them…into my late teens for my pépère and early twenties for mémère! You have such a beautiful painted family diary! What a WONDERful legacy.

Merana, congratulations on your Second Place Win in the What Is Going On In This Artwork contest. It is such a cute painting! And I have to say, it IS hard to believe that after only nine years the baby is now taller than his great grandmother. She must be quite short!
Merana Cadorette replied:
She's 94, and has shrunk severely...physically. mentally, she's sharp and witty as ever.
