Ken

Ken was painting in the wording on his parents' memorial stone in the cemetery if All Saints' Church in Marlow.

His dad died in 1995, his mum in 2005. He was using paint from a local hardware store and expected to spend the day on his task.

I love how you have captured this, but it makes my knees hurt to see him like this

Well spotted and captured Jackie, respect to Ken helping to keep their memories alive:)

Dedication

Keeping their memories bright for another little while.

He must have steady hands. Great capture of his focused attention.

Lovely, somewhat sad image

[Kathy A]

This is so sweet but I feel for his back and knees after a whole day .

[Delwyn Barnett]

I am sure he was thinking about them the whole time he was executing this. Nice meaningful portrait.

[Kathy]

Nice to see the photo of him working like this. I didn't know that memorial stones had to be painted. My parents' and husband's didn't

[Issi Bannerman]

A labour of love indeed.

Thank you all. Initially I just took his photo, them asked permission to post it, then we got chatting. Hope weather kind to him and it stayed sunny so the paint'd dry

[Mary Siegle]

Takes a steady hand. I'd probably goober it all up. Very nice portrait of him.
