I recently completed a commissioned portrait of a great grandfather and his great grandson. The great grandmother was very happy with it, and hung it in an honored place in their home. The grandmother of the baby cried when she saw it, and the great grandfather stops and looks at it when he passes it. The mother of the child thought it was a canvas print of the reference photo, and has asked me to do another one with the parents and child. This is why I paint! To bring that kind of joy to 3 generations of family just makes my heart happy!
