Grandmother’s Portrait Every Sunday I look forward to going with my mother and my young sister to visit my beloved grandmother at her cozy, spacious apartment in the large, sunny city of La Habra, California. In my grandmother’s home there are many beautiful antique landscape art pictures and portraits of herself around the house. A specific portrait that strikes my heart is this professionally shot studio picture of her in her early 20s taken in the 1950s. First of all, the portrait is behind the walnut wood, high gloss faux marble dining room table hanging high on the cream colored wall beaming and glistening from the reflection of the light shining from the luxurious crystal chandelier. The photograph resembles my mother in great detail from her high, rosy cheekbones to the drop-dead serious but modest look on her oblong face. The solid glare of her eyes are like sharp daggers ready to puncture your soul. Her eyes are a unique light caramel color; not too wide or too small. Her nose is small and slim, and her wavy, long hair reaches her shoulders. Her chin is pointed and her eyebrows are shaped into an exceptional arch that follows the minor curve of her eye. Next, the clothing she is wearing in her photo is very modest, formal, and classy. My grandmother is wearing a light pink orchid colored blouse and a long formal white skirt. She has a matching orchid pink summer hat with a beautiful medium size orchid flower hanging from it. Her gloves are white and reach above her wrists. The heavy jewelry she is wearing is lavishing and eye-catching. The white gold diamond encrusted necklace she received from her husband as a wedding gift is radiating with illumination. Her pearl diamond earrings are something a royal noble would wear on a regular day. Moreover, the back round in this picture is a flawless summer day garden setting with flowers and vegetation all
