i look so sad in the pic below, so had to post a different pic of the two kerstins, my mormor and myself, from a couple years ago. i see some cheek resemblance!
this painting is of my mormor and was painted when she was a girl.
for my 25th birthday, mormor said i could choose a painting from her collection and i chose this one. i love the painting itself and that it is of my mormor. she fills my heart with love. (sounds corny, but is true.)
(too bad the painting is a bit fuzzy in this pic.)

oh god! the photos are amazing and that painting!! ah-soooo beautiful! what a treature you have it.
my grandmother had a portrait done when he was in her 40's, which hangs in my grandfather's house (she passed away 5 years ago) and at the time everyone though she was so indulgent to hire an artist to paint a portrait of her (especially becasue my family is full of painters!)but now we all treasure it so much. thank you for sharing!
WOW! i love the word mormor. there is so much talk of grandparents on blogs lately. i have been loving it ....
i like the self P ... that is such a great haircut!! :) mav
i love the pic above of you and your grandmother and then this one of you both again, the resemblence is astounding, both beautiful pics, your grandmother was/is gorgeous.
that's a touching story that you chose her portrait. i'm sure she was touched. your mormor looks so nice. love the portrait too, i can see why you chose it.
That is a lovely self-portrait with the portrait. And the Two Kerstins is great.
beautiful art and photos and it was so good to see you in the flesh:) we'll have to meet up again, intentionally!
