Illustration Friday - Instinct

Is there anything more instinctual than parenting? Or learning to walk?
This painting in oil was done from a photo of my son and grandson.

I love the texture and your use of abstract yet substantiative timbre! Or something. Love it!

This is a lovely painting. I love the colors and the shadows.... It really does convey the feeling of being a parent with a small child.

I like the colors you limited yourself to, the simplified background and the dark shadows, just lovely, all of it.

Great painting. Do you ever paint for hire or just for fun?

this is just so beautiful. I love the fact that it is a father and son here. It's awesome. The blues really tell a wonderful story. I really like this so very much.
