Ed Cashman

This posthumous portrait was a collaboration with Ed's wife and widow, Sue. From conversations with Mrs. Cashman and also with other relatives, it was clear that Ed Cashman was a man of great integrity, a witty sense of humor, and a loving, compassionate heart. His children and grandchildren tell of his sweetness. As with all portraits, knowing my subject's character and a little bit of their background results in a greater depth of passion in each stroke I paint. Ed is a man I would have liked to have known personally. Thank you, Sue, for the privelige of getting to know both you and your husband.
