"A Lost Art"


Family friend and artist Cory Bjarnson painted Christopher's portrait for submission in an art competition at the National Portrait Gallery. The 24"x36" oil-on-linen piece, entitled "A Lost Art," depicts a young boy (Christopher), his back turned to modern distractions symbolized by a violent game on a computer screen, reading Lust for Life, Irving Stone's biography of Vincent Van Gogh. Christopher certainly has a lust for life and for learning!
