I liked the reference for this one because the dad has a quirky look on his face. Kati's teeth didn't turn out as good because in the photo she had braces on. I figured she wouldn't want them in the photo as she now has a wonderful smile without them.
Bill worked with my husband and besides being coworkers, they were friends. Both truck drivers working for the same company. Both Christians.
At my Bill's funeral, Bill S was one of the speakers. He is a "country boy" with a nice outlook on life. In a time when road rage is the norm on the highway, Bill S in a traffic situation will just raise his arm and say "God Bless You".
Kati is his daughter and soon to be married. I found this photo on her Facebook and liked the quirky look on her dad's face.
This is the latest painting in my people sketchbook. I don't really like the way it turned out. I can see many flaws, and I think it turned out looking more like a caricature. I was striving for realistic. But it was another way to practice people and watercolor and every painting is a lesson learned.

It's still a wonderful painting. Has a sweetness and liveliness to it that's really endearing. I think they will be thrilled with it!
