One half of a diptych painting, I painted half of their faces so that they each have a painting of each other. The paintings can be combined to become “completed” when they come together. This painting is based on younger images of the brothers and the color palette matches the passion and growth of their younger selves. The background is filled with abstract iconography of flowers/nature and it feels like a sunrise peeking through.
