Oil on canvas, 16”x20”

This portrait is of my mother-in-law, Shirley…a kind, steady, and deeply loving woman. I had hoped to express my love and admiration for her through this painting, capturing not just her likeness but the warmth she radiates. I later gave the finished painting to her daughter, who has always shown me so much love and acceptance over the years. This painting was a way to honor them both.
