This is such a precious portrait my dear friend you've done such a phenomenal job depicting this precious photo. The colors are incredible beautiful and natural the details are amazing. You've done an outstanding job with his peas and I'm so glad that he won the contest. It deserves it outstanding work.

    Thank you kindly for your remarks.
Comment from Glena Jessee-King


You have really depicted a child listening eagerly to his father's or grandfather's stories, asking for "more." This will be a painting Adam will treasure. Such a touching story of grandfather's passing. Sympathy yet a celebration for his life. He seemed very involved in his grandchild(ren)'s life(s).

    Thank you for your intuitive comments. Yes, Adam was so young but I know he feels the love from the photos that his Mom took.

A very nice entry for the A Story toTell contest. I am sure that a very sacred memory was made for Adam. This a great tribute to a man Adam admired.

Best of the best in the contest.

What a beautiful story and apt contest entry. So, so special. I know how my young grand child can hang on to some stories told...it is wonderful. Beautifully painted with lovely light and shading and delightful expressions. All the best in the contest and such a thoughtful gift.

Very nice entry for the contest, this tells the story of a grandpa with his grandson and the special bond they share. It appears that maybe grandpa is telling a story to his grandson,
Very well rendered with accurate shape and structure for both grandpa and the little boy.
It's a precious memory and such a wonderful gift for your son.
Best wishes to you in this contest!
