This is really nice Theriot! Glad it served a special purpose...for you to get to know your Dad better...life slips by and the men of that generation were less free to speak of their feelings I believe... the model they had was...work hard to get through the depression and WWII...and don't let them see you sweat! They may have been more valient then we suspect...glad you have this wonderful keepsake of him...and of a special connecting time.

You nailed my dad's character and persona. I'm delighted that you (someone who does not know him) could see that from this painting. Thank you for that.

Rob, it is wonderful to have had that time to know your dad prior to his death. I agree with River that your portrait here really represents your Dad in such a wonderful way. I can tell you did this for you more than him and he was happy to do it... what a way to remember him..
