I have been very busy lately working on a picture for my friends' mom. My friends' parents were like second parents to me growing up. We lived down the street from each other and I was always over at their house. They even took me with them to their lake cabin...many many summers. Unfortunately, my friends' father died this past March. At the conclusion of the service they showed some wonderful photographs of him through the years and I saw one in particular I was just amazed with. It's got to be one of the MOST beautiful pictures I have even seen. I just had to do something with it. I told my friend that I needed to have that picture and I really wanted to do a picture for her mom for her birthday. Well, this is the result of that 'quest'. I call it a labour of love, but it was not laborious...it was a joy to work on it. These two people were a very special part of my life, and will always be important to me.
The particulars of this picture are: it was an 18 x 24 piece of paper and it was framed and matted, so obviously it was larger. By about 3 inches all the way around. It was done in graphite pencil and took a couple of months.
Anyway, I gave the picture to my second mom today and she was very happy.
My next postings will hopefully be fairly soon. I am going to be working with my oils next.
