Fun Fact Friday! 🎨
Did you know the most treasured piece of artwork owned by Phyllis Madonna is a family portrait painted by artist Wayne Ingram in 1978?
Wayne stayed with the Madonna family in San Luis Obispo for two weeks, spending time with each family member to photograph and capture their unique personalities and interests. The final painting featured each person posed in the foreground, with soft, ghost-like images in the background representing their individual passions.
Phyllis shared, “When I saw the finished piece, I told him, ‘Because of you, our family will live on forever.’”
A truly heartfelt tribute from a kind and humble artist.
