I tried to convey that each of the kids is another one of grandpa's songs. Really it was all Shelly's idea to put the children gathered around him, and the guitar photo brought them together perfectly. It's a joy to work with good people with strong families. Thanks for your kind words.

Artist Reply: Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the kind words. Sister Shelly said your dad had a lot of character. It makes me wish I could have known him. There's strength in your family and surely he lives on in his grandchildren. I hope your mom takes that from the painting.
Dan
