Family portrait

their expressions -- somewhat
sulky as they'd sometimes be if asked
to pose back then.)

February third, and I was so happy to see both of my sons today.They have been the darlings of my heart since their
births. Recently cleaning out a room we were having
painted I found a project my older son did when my
youngest was a baby. It was illustrated with very
funny drawings of what's wrong with having a baby
(the crying, and the vomit), but on the plus side
he printed sagely -- "Now we are a family."

the model for this painting in
my Dance series)
Yes we have been since the beginning. And thesefantastic boys inspired a lot of my art, attended my shows,
even buy my art sometimes now that they are adults.
I am so proud of them. They are funny, smart, kind,
truly wonderful men.

get togethers are special with them around. My oldest
is married to our wonderful daughter-in-law, and
they have a beautiful little daughter. My younger son has
a great girlfriend, and both men are happy.
