THE AFRO, NORTH AMERICAN, NOBLE GRANDMOTHER WITH HER GRANDDAUGHTER BY L. MARTEL

by

This is a 20″x 24″ oil on canvas painted in 1983, of a very noble looking grandmother with her granddaughter. I see the strength and wisdom in her eyes. She is the driving force behind her granddaughter. The granddaughter looks happy, loved and protected by this bond with her grandmother.                                                                                                                           My grandmother had a huge impact on my life and that is something I wish to pass along to my grandchildren.

  4. I was raised by my grandmothers and they were avid readers who encouraged me to focus on developing an intellect. They acted traditional – “the universe is male dominated” – but I now realise they were only paying lip service to that idea. They didn’t want to pass those values on to me and I am grateful for that.
