My Grandma Peikert

A 7.5"x 9" watercolor on 300lb cp paper.  I always wanted to do a portrait of my Grandma, such character in that old face.  He father was a doctor of English descent that came out west for gold at 55 years of age and met an Indian women from the CA Mono tribe.   Their union produce five children, my Grandmother being one of the five. She lived to be 106 years old.
