His eyes capture the innocence of youth, and perhaps even more strikingly the innocence of a time gone by. At this tender age, he was oblivious to the challenges that he would face in life.

The focal point of this vintage collage is an image of my grandfather as an altar boy. It tops layers of vintage sheet music and other paper. It's been stamped with handcarved stamps and finished with a light touch of walnut ink. For greater stability, the entire piece was mounted on 140 lb. watercolor paper.

This piece is handsigned. It comes with a certificate of authenticity. It will be shipped in a clear protective sleeve, and the back will be personalized upon request.

Thank you for looking.
