Nancy & Tin​ker

This is a portrait in oils of Nancy and Tinker. Nancy is the love of my life, a lifelong friend, and my wife.

Everyone who knows Nancy loves her. They can’t help it, she is just that kind of person. She radiates compassion for all beings…especially the four-legged variety. She is holding Tinker, our wonder terrier (as in “I wonder what she is”?), in her arms.

This painting is my visual valentine to her on our 27th wedding anniversary together. For those of you that do not know me, I’m not one to effusively proclaim my personal emotions publicly, however this is a special case…

Dearest Nancy, I love you, and although we Quakers do not swear oaths, I have in mind this faithfully devoted commitment to you until death does part us.

Uxoriously yours,

Roger
