Let me introduce you to this lady - I found her while sorting through my packing boxes.

| Mum as a young woman growing up in Tahiti |
I did some sketches of this photo which I then painted on canvas. My efforts are no where near as lovely as the photograph though - I've decided it should hang in the house.
The rough sketch of this photo is my profile picture. There you go, you've learnt something new.
Wow. you are half Tahitian then? I think I knew that. She is very beautiful. Happy weekend xo
ReplyDeleteWow that's really interesting story and she is so beautiful. I have stayed in Tahiti a while back and my biggest memories from the islands were that the women were really beautiful and they always wore flowers in their hair. Have a great weekend, Lisa
ReplyDeleteGreat to know a little bit more about the inhabitants of The Sow's Ear. Yes, the photograph should definitely be out on display.

She was so beautiful! What a gorgeous photo.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and you should definitely have it out and definitely keep sketching!
ReplyDeleteI had wondered about your Avatar, and assumed it was a self portrait. I love this photo - your Mum is very attractive. Glad the photo is back on the wall. x
ReplyDeleteIt should be on the wall! I wonder if your Mum knows how famous she is?
ReplyDeleteShe'd be touched immeasurably, I'm sure, to think it means so much to you.
What a nice post.
She is very beautiful for sure. How does she feel about the portrait being on your wall...bet she's chuffed! If she gets tired of yours she can come and hang on mine for sure :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful photo - it definitely deserves to be hung :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo photo of your Mum. Your rough sketch is pretty darn good Anita!

What a stunning mum.
ReplyDeleteYou do learn something new... she is gorgeous! x
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shot. Nice link to your profile pic - love it!
ReplyDeleteWow! Such nice comments!
ReplyDeleteJane, yes - half Tahitian, half Italian.
Kerry and MMmC, I don't know whether she'll be chuffed about it...she'll probably tell me take the photo off the wall!
Sonia, a lot of people assume it's a self-portrait. Maybe if you squint really hard, it could be me!!
What a stunning picture! I hope your mum doesn't ask you to take it down.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes,
Natasha.
Your mother is beautiful! And I always wonder what you look like, Anita - yourself and Julie from Being Ruby are two of Charlie's Angels in my imagination.
ReplyDeleteYou Mum is so pretty in that photo and how lovely to have it hanging on your wall. Half Tahitian, half Italian sounds a stunning combination! Isn't Megan Gale half Tahitian too?
ReplyDeleteIt's a fantastic sketch! Your mother is beautiful..Rachaelxx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photograph - one to treasure

Squint...ha. You are too modest you are just as gorgous as your lovely Mum xx Katherine
ReplyDeleteA great picture that should be treasured. I think it will look lovely hanging on a wall in your home. You can tell your Mum you have made her a blog star! ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are the spitting image of her :)
ReplyDeleteHow blessed you are to have such a lovely memento of your mother's youth. Thanks for sharing that with us.
ReplyDeletewow... your momma is so beautiful.
