This is my favourite painting. It is a painting that Tania created of my three kids, based on a photograph. She nailed their essence and so beautifully captured their silhouette and pose. The vivid details of the sunset, the waves and even the sand, add a perfect touch of color to the painting. I can’t wait to hang it in my study. Thanks Tania for this thoughtful artwork.
