Good Genes

MOLLY - 40 x 30 Oil

When I asked Molly to pose for her portrait she struck a natural pose with her hand near her chin. Later I noticed a painting of Molly in her home with the same pose, she was six years old in this painting by Tom Donahue. I could not resist putting the Donahue portrait in the background of my painting, Tom was a friend of mine who passed seven years ago. It was my small tribute to Tom and perhaps the power of our genes.

Happy Holidays!
