This is a portrait if our second son, Tanguy Holcombe. Tanguy means "Firedog" in Breton, the language of Brittany (France). We have had a turbulent relationship which I hope will improve with time. He is the last of our four sons to have his portrait done. Some of the complexities of his personality are symbolized in the firedog. It was accepted in the 2006 Southeastern Juried Show at the Mobile Museum of Art, Mobile, Alabama.
