At almost any stage of life getting presents, celebrating something or just being given a small token is a great pleasure. However, as much fun as that is, when you share and let others play a part in your joy those moments become so much more, they become memories.

I painted this piece when a brand new grandson had just been added to our brood, his name is Charlie. He is not big enough at the moment to make his way into my work, but watching his older sister get pleasure from telling everyone about Charlie and sharing him led me to create this piece so that I could spread a little happiness.
