“the purest little heart”
16″ x 20″ fresco

this painting has a really sweet story behind it
it was commissioned by a groom for his bride as his wedding gift to her.
I usually don’t work from other’s photos
but i didn’t have a choice
this groom told me that he wanted to commission a painting
that would encapsulate all that this precious woman means to him
…he told me about all of the many facets of his love for her
i was touched…at times even moved to tears
(i had only met this wonderful woman over the phone…
when she wrote an article about me
for southwest art magazine a few years ago)

i asked him to gather childhood photos

this painting developed mostly from one photo,
but i had to use about 5 different ones to capture the features…
since the main photo that i was working from
was one of those blurry 70s photos

it went over well i hear
best wishes to the newlyweds!
