Collecting family heirlooms is a passion.
This is my great-great grandfather from French Canada.
The reference photo was a black and white photo. Knowing his heritage and lifestyle I could take the liberty to add a working man's cheek color. I am fortunate to know a bit about this man - and loved spending time getting to know the lines and curves of his face.
