Hope

This is a painting of Heather and Thomas and young Cedar yet to come.  I am  basing it after my favorite Rembrandt painting called The Jewish Bride.  I remember seeing it for the first time in the Rijksmuseum and being brought to tears.  There is so much tenderness  between the couple—perhaps sadness  too.  Here I want to show them looking toward the future.
