This is the sketch challenge over at Sketchabilities.
This page shows my grandmother dressed in her finery, she loved to dress up and go to the country horse races or to town as she lived in the country. She didn't have much money so she saved for a long time to try and match her shoes, hat and handbag. I wish I could get the photos a bit clearer but they were so small in my grandmother's younger years it's difficult to reproduce as I want them.
