  1. I like this a lot, Hermes, though have no idea why.

    The older lady looks as if she has a plastic bag on her head - maybe the kind people used to wear under driers at the hair-dressers. But this doesn't detract from the painting. I'm still charmed by it. Both the woman and the child have very recognisable poses and expressions.

  2. She has somehow a very feminine approach and her painting techniques are very good, making her pictures unique.
