I am so excited to start this portrait of my Nan and Pap. I knew they would be a pair of souls that I would draw during my 356 days of drawing. I did not know it would be so difficult to find a photo of the two of them together. I looked through STACKS of photos and finally when I held this one, I felt all the happiness and love shining through. As I held the photo, studied their faces and scenery I could feel this place was a happy place for my Nan and Pap. I knew they had made happy memories here. My mother thought the location of the photo was down at the beach near or at a motel called The Hawks Nest in Delaware. A motel near Oak Orchard that made them fall in love with the area and later purchased a beach house that I spent long summers visiting. I really wanted a better photo of their faces but this photo seemed to be the one I am supposed to draw.
