My grandfather was an avid photographer back in the Soviet Union and liked forcing his family to pose for him, much as I do now with paintings. My mom was not fond of being forced to pose, as many of his photos revealed. This one, however, struck me as being a beautiful photo. She is around 12 in this one I think. I suppose this is a collaboration of sorts with my grandfather who took this photo, and I painted it with invented color, decades later.
