Nordic Memaw

Watercolor by me from photo project "Eyes As Big As Plates" by Riitta Ikonen and Karoline Hjorth.
The kindness and wisdom reminds me of my grandmother, Memaw, who lived in Mississippi.
The photo that I reproduced in watercolor was taken far away from the US South.
Here is an excerpt from a BBC interview of the photographer: "The woman who resembles a wind goddess turns out to be a Norwegian in her 90s called Agnes, who made her first parachute jump at the age of 85 (her second was a 90th birthday present). “Floating through the air was pure joy,” she told the artists, so they all decided she’d dress as the “fabled north wind”.
