The tiny 2x4 inch black and white photograph of my parents is one of my favorites. They were both very short and I love the way my Mom is standing to make Dad look taller. The black inner tube around them tells a story also. My Dad was afraid of water and here he is near a big body of water (don't know where this was taken). He was uncomfortable in 3 foot deep water in a swimming pool! Don't you just love the bathing suits.

This is my all-time favorite painting that you have ever done. It captures the personalities of both subjects (my wonderful grandparents). I do have to say that it could be you and Uncle Tom (in a different era, of course), too. You both favor your parents in a way that's almost haunting.
