Commemorating a Life...

...How do you take one person's entire life and pay tribute to it in one painting? Who of us can say we can be encapsulated in such a small space? Our stories are too large... our opinions too detailed ...the relationships engaged ...loves lost ...laughter had and love given - where do you start?

Well, when someone you think the world of, asks this of you, what else do you say but "yes, of course, I will do this for you." I am not sure I did my friend's father justice, but I gave it my all and this is what came out.


Luckily, the face of my friend when he saw it meant all the world and worth for the exercise.
