Pure Delight is available in the following sizes:
16 x 20
One of my favorite past times is to ask "old" people about their lives. I am
always amazed at some of their stories. The things recounted to me by these
heroes of the "good ole' days", are not always the peaceful times of
swimming holes and fishing trips, but usually the tragedies that came their
way and how they coped with these experiences. Another thing I have noticed
is that no one is unchanged from these events. A person allows themselves to
be shaped by their experiences. They can choose to either become hard and
calloused or soft and kind. In "Pure Delight" I had the privilege of
painting one of those men who didn't have it easy growing up, but he allowed
the "stuff of life" to make him a gentler man, able to enjoy the delight of
his grandson and everyone else around him. I hope he inspires you to find
the joy and delight around you.
