I had an icon written for me by an icon painter. I liked the tradition in 15th Century Netherlandish paintings of having the patron and members of his family in the painting. So I asked the icon writer to include us in the work. I sent photos and she worked from that. Hence Jan ,the girls and I are in the bottom right hand corner.
Thanks Alan for the explanation, this is a lovel, focussed and calming 'always together' idea. I hope you all have the very best day you can have today.
I know a cheerful Cornish painter called John Dyer who always includes himself and his family / children as lively leaping figures in any of his colourful landscape scenes as part of his trademark / signature motif, even as they have all grown up now.
Curious painting / illustration. Tell us more about it one day. Hope you and your daughters are all well.
