My son likes to joke that his portrait hangs in a most honored place - his parents' bathroom. And it's true that his likeness does preside there but not in any professionally posed manner. This darling shot of Michael and pint-sized Marissa, taken some seven years ago during a summer vacation, has always been a favorite of mine. The quiet togetherness, the shared love of nature and fishing, and even a similar stance in the water create a timeless image of father/daughter camaraderie. But instead of just enlarging and framing the photograph, I took it a step further. Because I wanted a decorative element for a smallish wall in the master bath that would add a splash of both forest and sage green, I ordered a "fake" magazine cover personalized with the treasured photograph. The matted and framed composition adds just the right punch of color to the (much used) room and never fails to make me smile.
