Father's Day
18" x 24"
oil pastel on Pastelbord |
I was recently asked to create a painting of a Father on the beach with three young boys. There weren't any photos to use for reference. She couldn't find anyone to take on the painting, and this was such an important project. One of the boys passed away and this painting would be a special reminder of him. I knew I had to help.
Here are some images to show the process:

| finished! |
I am so thankful to be a part of this tribute to a Father and his sons. Happy Father's Day.
Thank you for reading!
