As Andy Warhol once said…”In the future, everyone will be world-famous for 15 minutes.” Not for my art, for my day job. Technically I was on camera for 10 seconds so perhaps I still have 14:50 left for my art some day. It was a fun experience, for a techno geek like me.

After the birth of my daughter in July, I came across a picture that was taken of my sister and I sitting on the couch that looked very similar to a picture that I took my two daughters. I always enjoyed that picture and I discovered it 11 years ago at my sister’s house. I guess she must have liked the image as well.

So what better thing to do than to paint the picture and surprise my mother for her birthday with it. I thought I could complete this small 8″x8″ painting in a few days. I forgot how picky I am so that did not happen. So my mother was presented with an almost finished painting for her birthday. She understands, she knows me very well.

But I have finally finished and I can not wait to present it to her. You can view a larger version in the Portraits Gallery above.
