Glamour #4

I have been dreaming a lot lately and last night I had some nightmares again. In fact, I am afraid to go back sleep. Courage Isay! Anyway, I have thought about making this illustration earlier today but I had to do a lot of things that it’s only now; I was able to go back and finish it. The story behind this illustration is a memory when I was very little girl. These two old women are my grandmothers. I can still remember them because my father’s mother have lived a long time and my mother’s mom maybe died when I was between 5 and 7 years old. I remembered that everytime they will visit us at home that I have always looked at them so closely and for a long time. I was so much attracted with their clothes. My mom was just wearing a normal midi dress, but they were always wearing our national costume which was still a fashion for old people during that time. I don’t have pictures with me but we have kept pictures of them in our maternal home. I find them both so glamorous at least in their clothes, and beautiful (must be when they were younger without those wrinkles and flabby skin, although I must say they have aged gracefully)but very different from each other. Anyway, I have lots of older siblings and I don’t remember so muh about being close to them. But there’s one thing that I cannot forget and that was one evening when all the kids gathered in the sala and my mother’s mom read a book for us.
