grandma tati's radio

grandma tati´s radio

i'm painting to remember, to reconnect with my past.

she used to listen to it every night

this is my grandmother´s radio, i can still see her listening to it but can´t remember if she only listened to news or if she also listened to music.

and when there were blackouts, i would resort to it

i also connect this radio to blackouts because whenever there was one (and we always had them during the years of terror) we would listen to the news in it.

by painting it i brought back memories of my grandmother

as i painted i thought about tati so much...

watercolours to remember...

watercolour memories...

mom

she must have been 18 at the most... i bought the little flowers surrounding the photo to make tea yesterday at the farmer´s market but i can´t remember their name or what they were for... i wonder if i can make a dyptich with this photo and the one i did previously of dad surrounded by rose petals, they might make sense together.
