One of the most special paintings out of all the ones I did for my Christmas commissions was this one that I did for my dad. 
This is me when I was three or four years old. I did a pastel drawing of this photo in high school, and then somehow it got lost after I left for college. My mom was devastated. So for one of my mom’s Christmas gifts, my dad commissioned me to do this painting. I love how it turned out, mostly because I love this photo.
