Nice to hear you weighing in, Steven, particularly since you had your father's journal reprinted and therefore could theoretically create an additional copy at some point, what you did was a beautiful testimony to his work and highly appropriate. Sounds like an heirloom to me.
The artists on the list I mentioned were wondering whether using the term "heirloom" was actually sound marketing or whether it was a turn-off because of potentially musty, creaky connotations, to say nothing of its hints at the client's mortality since, in order to become an heirloom, someone must die to pass it on. Because of their take on it I was wondering whether it was a good term to use in the context of portraiture, after all.
The language I use on my site is: Create an heirloom - commission a portrait of your children, grandchildren, spouse, parents or other loved one, painted in oils on canvas, for your family to cherish for generations.
