The Focus Is on Who Matters
Maybe it’s your child mid-laugh, a friend you haven’t seen in years, or a quiet moment you never forgot. As you paint, you notice the details in a way you didn’t before. The way they smile. The shape of their eyes. It’s less about the final painting and more about the love and attention you’re giving to it along the way.
