This Week's Theme: LOOKING UP


This is a painting of my nephew which my daughter did of
him when he was 2 years old. He was looking up to his mom
while she was giving him instructions on how to play with a
new toy he got as a gift for his birthday.

This is how he looks now 15 years later. He was in a pensive
mood when this was taken a week ago because the mom
he so dearly loves passed away last August 23.

    That's an awesome portrait of him!

    Understandable, he must be in great sorrow.

    Take care.

    It's so sad when a child loses a parent, my heart breaks for him.

    She was a talented artist. She captured his look perfectly. You can still see it is the same boy, all these years later. I am very sorry for the loss you all have suffered.

    It's hard to lose a parent anytime but especially at that age.

    Wonderful pictures - both of them.

    It's a beautiful drawing. And a sad story. A very difficult situation for an old person, let alone a young one.

    OK now you can have a laugh. Here's my word verification
    "fzoopp". I'm assuming that's what the zookeeper says when he/she accidentally steps in some animal wee wee. LOL ;)

    Wonderful painting and nice photo. How sad about losing his Mom so young. Great hunt pictrure. Pehaps he was looking up to where his Mom is now, should they believe in that.
