I am not a portrait artist nor do I have any desire to EVER  be.  I dug deep to paint this picture of my nephews, Jack and Will. Not perfect but as close as I can get to their cute faces. My sister always told me it was her favorite picture and she wished I would paint it for her. I hate that it took a tragedy for me to get around to the challenge. Sweet, little Jack always got unwanted attention for his beautiful red hair.  His friends called him Red which is what a lot of my father's friends called him. I wish I could fix the hurt and sadness my sister's family is going through. I hope this will eventually bring some happy memories back.  This is painted on a 20 x 24"

  3. Hitting me in the gut here; I have a redhead who has redheads and I think Jack is gorgeous. Your sister will cherish this and the boys' facial expressions are awesome, Carol. You did a beautiful job.
