Painting for Grandkids in Covid time
by Willie Vergara
My wife Tess and I have been spending much of our time in Los Angeles during 
this Covid-19 time. Reason: To take care of our two youngest grandchildren 
while their parents, both doctors, are at work in their respective hospitals. To 
maximize my time, as in every dutiful grandpa (for both Adrion and Enzo, who 
call me “GP”), I give in to their requests for paintings about their respective 
“obsessions”. 
Adrion is extremely fascinated with Endangered Animals, while Enzo is crazy with 
dinosaurs. Following are among the paintings I have done in order to earn their 
hugs and kisses.
