Say hello to Sam!

Sam is an outdoor enthusiast, and though now 28 years old, in this painting he is under the age of ten. The reference photo I used while painting Sam's portrait was taken just as night was about to fall and after a full day of water skiing, hence the rosy red cheeks. It is said Sam's playful spirit is legendary, particularly to his four nephews, all who "love Uncle Sam!" I grew quite fond of Sam too while painting his portrait, as his smile tells it all.

As the youngest of three children, Sam was the last to get his portrait painted. Sam's parents are delighted to finally have a painting of Sam they can place with his siblings on the stairway!
