2020

This is a portrait of Pete that I painted for his Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead) altar. He died following a short illness. I celebrate his life in November on this holiday by creating an altar with this image as the centerpiece. He was an artist and a musician and loved this tradition. On Dia de Los Muertos we can remember and celebrate loved ones who have died by creating an altar which may have photos, food, flowers, toys or other symbolic offerings. This portrait was painted from a photograph that I took of him near the end of his life.
