On his wedding day Sean (a grandson) is dancing with Ashley (a granddaughter) and the subject of his upcoming deployment to Irag came up. She lost her composure and this picture was taken. With one exception I have employed the same colors used in Pablo's demo. Though not nearly so well as Pablo. I liked the colors as they seem to be bright and didn't appear to fade much after drying.

There are two lasting bequeaths we can leave for our children, one is roots and the other is.....wings.

Being a veteran of WWII and two tours in the Korean War I know the feelings so well depicted in your painting.

Wingman - you have captured a beautiful moment. It feels like we are intruding - that is how strong this picture is (to me).

Very nice....this is my kind of portrait.....capturing personality and character rather than just a likeness. Well done!
