I have been working on this piece for a while now. I find that sometimes if my subject is too close to me personally it takes me much longer to finally say it is finished. I always think I can do better. I had to let this go and move on. It is a tribute to my father who is an amazing man. He was in the Navy during World War 2, then joined Air Force and went to pilot training... flew B-52's and a plethora of other aircraft. We traveled the world together. He has always been and continues to be a wonderful, loving and totally supportive Dad.
I recently wrote a tribute to my mom and told you how she hates to have her picture taken...conversely...my Dad loves the attention so getting him to sit for portrait was no problem. Now if I could just get one of the two of them together...ah well...that will be my next project...stay tuned!
