Paintings....UNBELIEVABLE!

Hi again. See, I just lurk most of the time, but now 2 threads started by me in one night!

I had to share these....I am so completely blown away!! There is an artist in GC that did these of my son. He painted from a photograph....they are incredible. They literally took my breath away! See the little photos in the corner? Those are the photos I gave him to work from. The first was Oscar wearing my hat and the second was of him in the tub. The details are amazing!

I love these paintings of my sweet boy and they will be cherished forever!

p.s. I am happy to share his name/info if anyone wants it.
