Wasn't familiar with the artist but prompted by your post I reviewed his work and bio and was very impressed. His work as an illustrator informed his style, but I also admired this lovely study which has a more painterly feel:
I'm pleased to have prompted some further study; I often do the same thing myself when confronted by art with which I'm unfamiliar. He was a wonderful artist, IMO.
I adore him. His work is very sweet, but it’s based on his actual family. He had a traumatic upbringing, so I love that he broke the cycle and made a good life for his kids.

I absolutely love his work. You can see the love he has for his family, the appreciation of his children’s joy. The kitchen scenes are fantastic, but the family at play is heartwarming.
