"Ala" - Resident event speaker

Acrylic on watercolour paper - 16" x 25"

Here is Ala, a mad and wonderful Russian lady from my senior club. This picture is from a time when she was giving a speech before we all sat down to enjoy our 4th July party food...she loves her speeches. Often they can go on for at least 10 minutes while we hold our cutlery waiting to dig in to our food. She likes to bless a lot of things, "God Bless America" she can be heard repeating!
