Aura


This is a watercolour portrait of my grandmother by Jenny Hock. The picture has a unique atmosphere where I feel as if I’m there with her. She is in her garden sitting, looking out to the familiar view of castle hill. Breathing in the pungent smell of bats and rotten star fruit. This painting is very moving for me. It stirs up pain and happiness and generates many memories I have with my grandmother.
