My newest "if-the-house-were-burning-down-I'd-save-this-first" possession! Isn't this portrait of my son amazing?
I've known the artist, Andy Bartos, through etsy for a while. I already knew that (as well as being a complete sweetheart) Andy was tremendously talented . I've long admired his work on etsy, and was lucky enough to own one of his prints and some notecards already.
But when I opened this - well, it brought tears to my eyes! The level of detail and the likeness are just stunning. This is the original photo I sent if you want to judge for yourself -
Wonderful! How old is your son? My 17 year old daughter just told me she wants to move to England and work on a dairy farm...lol After seeing this pic...she might make it happen!
