My Friend Errol - The Doppelganger

When the Filgates were visiting the Norton Simon Museum in Pasadena, California with friends in 2019, they came across a painting that stopped the group of friends in their tracks. Everyone was in awe that the man in the painting looked exactly like another mutual friend, who was not with them. The friend back home was sent text messages with the image of the painting and was rather amazed that he was hanging in a museum. After the visit, as a Hanukkah gift, Leonard reproduced the image as a gift for his friend Errol. It was a big hit and was received with lots of laughter!
