watercolor sketchbook } all in the family


sara kalandar. we both saw the resemblance immediately. sara is my late aunty latifa’s younger daughter
The Alkandari clan loves being snapped, so we’re always looking for the next great photo op. So last Thursday I took my watercolor sketchbook to our weekly family lunch. I wanted to match my girls with various relatives, whether by looks or color combos or just a certain je ne sais quoi. I wanted them to be involved in the choice, and I must say they all seemed to pick the right girl for them.

fatma abdul-salam is my aunty hanaa’s eldest daughter. i used to baby sit her. now she’s happily married

fatima alkandari is my uncle jassem’s eldest daughter. she’s honeymooning in the maldeves at the moment

this is ayesha alkandari. she is my cousin abdulla’s daughter. she was my enthusiastic little helper and is just perfect
