This is a pencil portrait of my mom which I completed sometime in March. I am submitting this portrait for @juliakponsford 's ART EXPLOSION WEEK 3 challenge. The theme for this week's challenge is LOVE. I submitted my first entry, Pencil Portrait of My Husband and Son earlier today. I couldn't find a more perfect entry than portraits of my beloved ones.
My mom. Both of us don't always see things eye to eye. As someone with a choleric temperament she is a 'take charge' kind of person and her tenacity is such an admirable trait. She is strong and always able to persevere through whatever life throws at her. I take after my dad more than my mom in terms of personality. I am quiet and introverted like my dad. So these differences in temperament sometimes make it hard for me to accept my mom's ways of handling things. Regardless of our differences, I love her dearly and this portrait was my Mother's Day gift for her.
Here are the progress photos for this portrait...
