My Grandfather, the Artist [above] now adorns a prominent place in my workspace. Over three feet tall and finished entirely in acrylics with a rich glazed finish, it is my hope that, were he to have seen it, the subject of the piece would have been pleased. Painting an artist, with all of his spirit, life, perception, skill, intuition, and vibrant talent, is a very introspective endeavor, very thought-provoking in itself; when that artist is also your own grandfather, elements of a more personal admiration and gratitude come into play. . .Art about an Artist
