I painted this floral from life this week.

Leslie Elder: This is a painting I just completed for a commission for a Rabbi in town. The couple were his grandparents.They were originally from Austria and Hungary and were both holocaust survivors pf WW!!. Most of their families perished in Nazi work camps or prison camps. They were among the few who survived. They immigrated to the US where they eventually became successful in business but always tried to give back to their community. The photo originally contained other people so I changed it a bit. I tried to really
bring out their characters rather than just copy the photo. It's useful to get background info about the personalities and lives of your subjects if you don't meet them in person so you can project that in the portrait.
