Superman

My customer and her husband were celebrating their 20th wedding anniversary. She asked me to make a large framed picture of the whole family, including their dogs, as a gift for him. The brief was to show her husband in a Superman costume. Apparently he tries to convince their kids that he is actually Superman! She also wanted me to include the flags of the USA, where the family emigrated from, and of Israel, where they now live, along with some hearts since they all love each other 💖. Lastly, my customer wanted me to include the slogan "20 Years of Love" somewhere in the picture.   

Apart from the Superman costume, my customer wanted to add a small detail for each of her kids. The couple's youngest, Lev, always has a dinosaur on his T-shirt, she told me. Her eldest should be in a tank top. Emmy, their middle daughter, loves her helix piercing, whilst Nili, their younger daughter, has curly hair and loves makeup. 

My customer said that she would love it if she wore her hair down but she never does! To make the piece casual and fun, she suggested that I show her with her hair in a messy bun and wearing her glasses. Her husband wears a small kippa (skullcap), she added. I made sure it matched his Superman costume.

The final piece, which measured 30x40cm, was very well received! "Amazing! We love it!" my customer wrote to me. Apparently the whole family loved all the little details and in my customer's words, her husband "went nuts!".
