Sometimes you do not want to say goodbye to a portrait. Therefore, it took a long time before I could deliver this painting. But eventually all work has to leave the studio. That´s life.
I added this post on 9 may 2012. The portrait was delivered on the 10th. The grandfather was really proud and the same evening he called his friends to invite them to see the painting. The next morning the poor man died. What a tragic message!
I also made a Youtube version:
Ben, me emociona ver cómo haces que broten los retratos de tus lienzos. Un beso enorme para tí yHelma.
Gracias Isabel.
