" My husband Bill passed away and I wanted a happy picture of us to remember the fun times we had (and we had a lot). Bill was always a happy soul and Kay has captured his personality in this portrait of us both and as a little surprise she has painted our two children in the reflection of my sunglasses, so it's really a family portrait!
Thank you so much Kay, it's amazing."
