Sometimes, you lose someone in a blink of an eye. No one plans for their final photos. So grateful for the art of Photoshop that allows me to create a beautiful painting of a loved one from a cell phone photo or even a simple snapshot.


This one is my mother-in-law. I was sad to lose her so suddenly over a decade ago. Working on developing my digital painting for the last few years has allowed me to bring her back to life with a painted portrait.

It's never too late to create a beautiful image.
