Description
I painted this portrait of my friend Mike for his wife Patti. Mike had a year long struggle with cancer. I am sad to say he did not survive. As a tribute to him I painted him in his favorite color blue, the colors of the background all have meaning. They are all significant. I have chosen them as a representation of Mike's character.
Blueish/Teal or Aqua - Mike's faith, gave him the strength of the ocean yet the peacefulness of waves lapping on the sand.
Red - Mike's passion. Mike was passionate about Patty, his family, his church, his friends and his country. Mike's passion for life was undeniable.
Blue - Mike's personality was rare and you were blessed to know him. A crisp winter day with a brilliant blue sky that went as far as the eye could see, as you gazed upon it, you knew you were blessed because this beauty was rarely seen and when it was, it made you smile, and you thank God because you know how blessed you are to have witnessed this gift.
Purple - Royalty There is purple scattered throughout the portrait. Mike is surrounded by true Royalty. Royalty that is unmatched by anyone or anything. He is at peace in the Royal Kingdom.
