This one is for friends Ted and Claire who live in Colorado, land of extremely variable weather. They wanted a painting that reflected some of the color and variety they see on a daily basis.
After painting my grandfather, I wanted to create a portrait of my grandmother in a similar vein.
Rather than using reading glasses or a magnifier, my grandfather uses these shop goggles out of habit.
In hindsight, I realize that three things made it possible to paint, and finish, now: a deadline, the daytime, and having peaches (both cut and whole) nearby.
