While I was away in Vt, I began a portrait of my friend, Noreen’s, mother, Marion. Marion passed away several years ago, but I was lucky enough to get to know her well and to be with her and Noreen as Marion passed through the various stages of Alzheimers. I drew the portrait from a photo I took of Marion and her friend, Hilda. Both Hilda and Marion were then in the middle stages of their disease, although Hilda was slightly more progressed than Marion. Hilda lived in an assisted living facility and we were just getting Marion ready to move to that same facility. We were happy that she would have her friend Hilda just down the hall.
