Memory Portrait 1

Tessa Guze, Memory Portrait, Oil Paint

This is a portrait of the lady who lived next door to the school where I taught english in Jaipur, India. Our school was really just in the space between two peoples houses with a tarp as a roof to keep rain and sun out. Every morning, this lady and the rest of her family would step over my students when needed to come and go from their house.

My tiny school, its the space between the buildings under the blue tarp.

My students trying to fix an extra tarp on our school to shield us from the summer sun.
