This is a painting that I was commissioned to do through a recommendation from a friend of mine. This young man lost his grandpa not too long ago and realized that he didn't have any photos with just him and his grandpa. It's a common thing...more common than you'd imagine. I think that we, as humans, see those around us as permanent fixtures in our lives. We somehow believe that they'll always be there and we miss out on the opportunity to have those photos taken. That's where artists come in, I guess. I don't think that it's as good as having that real-life photo with the one you love, but we try to make up for it the best that we can.
