Granddaughter Paints Grandpa And Surprises Him With The Result

An aspiring artist surprised her 96-year-old grandfather with a portrait she painted of him while capturing his excitable reaction on camera. Julia Gallarza Junca, from Girona, Spain, lived in a different country from her grandfather Joan Junca Marce, who resided in France, so the pair couldn’t see each other as much as they liked. But despite the separation, Joan inspired Julia to paint, insisting if the talented artist worked hard, she could dedicate herself to her craft. Julia had always wanted to paint her grandfather, but she revealed that being a perfectionist, she never saw herself capable. Until one day, she thought she had to try, since Joan was aging, and she didn’t want to be too late to show him her work due to what she described as her ‘insecurities’. After finishing the oil painting, she introduced it to a proud Joan, who immediately after the video went to look for a place in the house to hang the painting so she could always see it.
