Memories

This painting is actually quite a few years old. I painted this in 2005-6 and entered it into the Scholastic Art and Writing competition. It won a Regional Gold Key and a National Silver Medal. However, this painting means a lot more to me. This house is the house in which my grandfather grew up in McGill, Nevada. The figures are my grandfather as a young boy and as an aviator during WWII (although when I showed it to him, he was a little confused and was certain the other was his brother). These were his memories.
My grandfather passed away last week. He was a great man, I am grateful for the memories that I have of him.
