Yesterday I talked about my sons.  One of the great things about

children are the people they bring into our lives.  In our

case in this month of love, I want to talk about how much

I love my son Christopher's wife, Megan, and my son Sam's

girlfriend, Emily.  They are family -- lovely, kind, intelligent,

compassionate, funny and beautiful women.

Emily, my son Sam's girlfriend.

This painting travelled to Florence 

and sold in NYC
(I've only painted one painting of
Emily -- this one.)

What a gift it is to have sweet women like this in our lives.

I feel blessed to know them, to learn from them, and 

have so much fun with them.  Also I have painted them

(of course).  Painters (especially portrait painters) 

love painting their families.  But what could be more natural

than to paint the people in your life who you love? Right?

Thank you to these brilliant women, for lighting up our

lives with their love and humour, and kindness.  You

two rock to the max!

Have a loving-your-growing-family day!
