Handsome Couple

Bob & Joan
Graphite and watercolor, 6.5" X 7.5"
NFS


In process graphite drawing with start of watercolor washes.


As I mentioned before, my parents are having some major health issues. I painted this from an old  photograph of them standing on a frozen Minnesota lake. I think, taken as they were just dating. What I loved about the image is that it shows such happy, loving faces from a much simpler time of their lives. Since I'm the oldest of their 4 children, I guess I was the kick start for all the adventures they would later have. This is also a gift for my mother's birthday next weekend. And, shhhhh, don't tell her  .  .  .  it's a secret!
