Original Acrylic and Graphite on Canvas

Our oldest son plays hockey and it’s a big part of our life (and income) six months out of the year. My husband is his coach and although I don’t go to many games (checking wrecks me), it’s been a wonderful way for our older son to grow and mature. I never thought that would happen. He was my clingiest baby and barely let me put him down the first three years of his life. He was also my best sleeper and snuggler. Now he’s a master hip checker and at 6’1” so far, he’s one of the taller kids in his league here in Northern Michigan. Our big boy lives and breathes ice and is turning 16 in a couple months. I wanted to paint something for him. It’s based on a stellar photo that his oldest sister took. Commissions in my original style are avail.
