In Remembrance

This past Christmas, my sister Lydia and I finished a painting that we were asked to do for the mother of the lovely children in this photograph. The scene is from twenty-some years ago, and the elderly man present is their grandfather that past just shortly after Christmas day less than a decade after this photo was taken. It couldn't have been a greater privilege to collaborate on this sentimental painting, being so close to the feeling of loss of a loved patriarch of the family. Thank you to our great friends, Tristan and Ian (the young'uns here) for giving us this opportunity. And thank you for trusting us with something so delicate.

Here is a close-up of the grandchildren with their grandfather.
