Portrait of Dolores Manci

This is a conceptual portrait of a classmate of mine. She is a very resillient person, who has to cope with a lot of troubles in her life, but still manages to care for other people, and be very brave, friendly and enthusiastic. I also wanted to portray her kids and grandson in the small boat and her husband in the rocks. There are some dates which refer to important events in her life. The beach is very menainful to her as well, so I chose to incorporate it too.I am very glad that the picture ended up in her hands
