Timeless Connection

The reference picture for this
pastel painting is of my Dad and
one of his 7 great grandchildren,
Skye. He cherished his moments with
them and they reveled the attention
of their "Papa". Pure love on his
part....pure wonder on theirs. He was
simply sharing some of his wonderful
stories with Skye. I often wondered if
she understood anything he told her
but I realize that it didn't even matter.
The language spoken between them here
is one where words are completely
unnecessary. It was just one of the many
moments where she was just bonding with this wonderful man she called "Papa"..

    They are both so very caught up in this moment, Hilda! I love the caring in his face and the pretty cheeks of the innocently serious little girl!

    I can "see" the bond between them in your portrait, and to me, that's the mark of a successful piece of art.. not the technique or the colors, but the emotion it evokes in the viewer.

    Great job, Hilda!

    (Wishing you a long warm Indian Summer up there in NY! LOL!)

    thank you ALL for your wonderful comments on my Dad and Granddaughter. I truly enjoyed painting this one...and yet it was quite emotional as well. With every stroke I did on my Dad, I wished he was here to see it! As you all know, he was my #1 critic!

    Es una pintura entrañable. La relación entre abuelos y nietos es algo extraordinario. Has captado maravillosamente ese momento.

    Endearing painting. The relationship between grandparents and grandchildren is something wonderful. Your painting has captured that moment beautifully

    This work is very emotional, Hilda. Love is perceived in it, theirs and yours enveloping the scene. I love how both are outside the image capture, speaking without words. Gorgeous!. Excellent execution.
