Bill & Barbara | Comission Portrait

"She has done so much for me"...

With so many changes going on in my life I was so grateful for something consistant and rather farmiliar to come about... giving the gift of art to people during the holidays. Melody, a former co-worker of mine reached out to me to do this watercolor portrait of her fiance's grandparents. After sitting down with her to get some background info on the couple, I aimed to capture the feeling of their unity that in her words "has done so much".
