My good friend Don's father passed on May 9th, and as a memory for his beloved wife, I wanted to paint his portrait. He was a very interesting, warm and caring man, so it was a pleasure for me to try and capture his spirit for this wonderful lady.

ReplyDeleteWow...Vern, I'm Moved! as you know,I have a huge hole in my heart after my Dad passed and being a true friend, you have done an amazing thing by filling some of that hole.From the bottom of my heart......I THANK YOU.
ReplyDeleteI definitely seem the warm caring man. He is very lively and full of heart. I love how you did the text in the background. Not many artists can pull off text in their painting. You did so like a pro. Beautiful work.
