At long last, the oil portrait we commissioned of Lorinda has been delivered!
The painting, by artist Greg Mortenson and which measures 24"x34", shows Lorinda holding one of our "darker haired" children (actually, the Taber-Kewene's baby), while wearing her favorite blouse-and-skirt outfit from her mission to Germany, her wedding ring, pearl earrings she was wearing on her wedding day, a pearl necklace given to Lorinda by family friend Janae Powell, a blanket borrowed from the Blanchards, while seated in one of the 14th Street "convent" chairs that David refinished.
We love it! One "weird" thing, though: Lorinda's eyes follow you wherever you are. Yep, kids, mom is constantly watching you!
