This portrait was commissioned by my mother. Her family is spread out and its a rare occasion that the siblings see each other- especially all at once. While attending a wedding, they had their first photo taken all together with their mom, my grandma. No one knows when a reunion like this will happen again, so she had me do a watercolor painting to capture them all. I referenced 4 photos for this and even then had to pull from other images for detail. Each sibling has a print of the final piece, and Grandma received the original as a gift. It meant a lot to me to meet and get to know some of the family I’ve never spent time with through painting them. Thank you Grandma for passing down the “Painter” gene!
