Grandpa, the Artist Before Me

Grandpa, the Artist Before Me

Oil on linen – 17 x 12 inches – Collection of the Artist

My paternal Grandfather was an extraordinarily talented man who never got to pursue his art because of the time and place in which he lived.  He was also the kindest and gentlest of souls.  When he realized he had a granddaughter who drew all the time, he supported my dreams with all his heart.  I am grateful he lived long enough to see me on my way.  When I sign a painting “Maderich”, it’s for both of us.
