Grandpa

I saw this man walking in Leland, Michigan. He seemed very sweet and gentle, and made me wonder if he was a Grandpa. So when I started to paint him, I decided to give him a grandchild. Oh, how I love the artist license! This is 8x10, oil on canvas.

  1. LOVE that you conveyed sweet and gentle through brushstrokes of color. Your painting is so evocative. Takes me right back to walking along Knollwood Beach, hand in hand with MY grandpa when I was maybe five years old.

  2. Sweetness! I bet they are going down the hill for some ice cream or a lolly!
