Portrait of Jason Beatty at 11

My oldest son, how I love you. I so share sadness

for the loss of your childhood.

This painting is as much about the insides of me

as it is about the outsides of you.

 

 

Portrait of Joshua Beatty at 10

I've seen your magic since the beginning Josh,

as you've stood up against the world

and defined it in your terms.

May you always have the love you so need.
