love is born

 Love is born

With a dark and troubled face,

When hope is dead

And in the most unlikely place;

Love is born,

Love is always born.

- Michael Leunig

portrait of Dave

Dave lives down the road. He has the most amazing garden. 

Dave is also a veteran. He has set up a little museum in his house showcasing war memorabilia. 

I once saw him outside the local grocery store during Legacy Week raising funds for the widows and children whose loved ones have served our country. 

I took a photo of him that day and that photo inspired this portrait of Dave.

I can't wait to show Dave his portrait! (UPDATE: Dave loves it:--))
