The Most Honorable Portrait
I was very honored to create this portrait of a wonderful man that was not only a neighbor but a man I looked up to as an uncle, the late Mr. Baca. I did this rendering of this great man as a gift for his wife Mrs. Baca. My good friend/aunt burst with emotion when she unveiled my special gift I had for at her surprise 80th birthday party yesterday. The raw honest emotion and tender words that the whole family gave me made my heart fill with so much happiness and success. I accomplished my goal for this piece and I thank the whole family and love them dearly. Mr. Baca may not be with us here today but at least I can give them a piece to remember him by and give them the ability to see him one more day.
