Dancing Brothers

This painting (original 24 x 20)  captures my father and his brothers locked arm in arm, dancing around the table with unrestrained joy. Their bodies lean outward in motion, faces alive with laughter and intensity, as if the dance itself is carrying them. The table at the center grounds the scene, but the true focus is the bond between them—the shared rhythm, familiarity, and ease that comes only from a lifetime of connection.

Loose, expressive brushstrokes amplify the exuberance of the moment, allowing movement and emotion to take precedence over precision. The room seems to pulse with energy, light spilling outward as their dance fills the space. What emerges is not a posed scene, but a deeply personal portrait of happiness—brothers celebrating one another, caught in a moment of pure, overflowing joy.
