Today I gave to Johan van der Werf from Aegon the portrait of Harry Lockefeer that I was asked to paint last year. And it was directly given to the widow and children of Mr. Lockefeer.
It was a pleasant and slightly emotional afternoon, I painted someone that I had never met just after he died and his family were confronted to an image of their not so long ago deceased loved one.
Luckily they really liked it and they saw the resemblance. For me it was very strange to meet his son and to see that he looks just like his father!
