Drawing 208 ~ of a touching scene in my father’s nursing home.
I turned the corner and saw this lovely elderly woman loving patting a baby in her arms and thought;
“oh how sweet, she is hugging her great grandchild!…then: ” oh no…no one is supervising her” …to ah…its a doll!. It was SO realistic….as I stood there, about to draw-I was told not to unless I have the permission of the family by the PSW. The person’s face below is fictional, and when we were alone she wheeled up to show me her baby. More notes below…
