Thanks BP! I think Luke looks like his Dad, Owen looks like his Mom and I don't know who Andrew takes after.... they're quite the attractive family.

As some of you might know, while I was in Colorado this past summer, I saw the their mom and dad... here's my post from then... from the other board... Well, as some of you ladies know, I have been in Vail, CO for the past 9 days. While I was up there, I had dinner with my dad at this Italian restraunt. He knows of my crazy obsession with Luke and all, and I had shown him the picture of him and his mom and owen. When we first walked in my dad nudged me, I didn't really get what he was nudging me for but when we sat down he nodded in their direction. This woman looked exactly like her!!! I am not kidding you!!! They were having dinner with this other couple...here is how the dialouge played out (this dialouge suggests to me that they were his parents). M-man W- woman L- Laura D- Luke's dad (don't know what his name is?)
L- "Well thank you for having us for dinner." W- "Oh no problem at all, I just wish the boys could come to dinner with us sometime. I haven't seen them in ages." D- "They're all down in Austin...those boys are always so busy." *they all stand up* M- "Mr.Wilson...*while shaking hand* always a pleasure...Laura *shaking hand* nice to see you again." L- "Nice to see you too." M- "Tell those boys to come on up here any ol' time, they are always welcome at our house." D- "Will do."
Then they walked out...still talking...but I couldn't hear them or anything...
It probably had nothing to do with them...but I figured with the all of them down in Austin and Mr. Wilson...I don't know...
I am almost positive it was them.... now that I've seen this picture. His dad has the same voice as Luke. Crazy!

Wow KC. I read your post a long time ago and never put it together that it was you. What a fabulous sighting. I wonder if their parents realize that they are celebrities now as well.

Cool, KC!
Did Mr. Wilson have a thick New England accent? I've heard that he hasn't accent, even after living in TX all these years.

not that was terribly terribly noticable, but his speech was indeed a bit different

I bet it was him, too! Since you've seen them in Denver, unexpectedly, we will all be looking around every public place we go. They could turn up anywhere!

Neat story, Kelley!
He looks like the faces of the three boys all merged together. So familiar, but not quite identical to any one of them. How funny!

Wow, thank you posting that photo of Mr. Wilson, bunnypanda. I've seen that same photo in The Wonderfu World of Owen Wilson. But then it disappeared. When it was posted in there, it was almost too small to see clearly.
Now I can see how Luke really does take after his father. I had thought that Luke looked like his mother until I saw this photo of Dad enlarged. Luke really does have his father's eyes and mouth, if not the coloring which are from his mother.
I can see a resemblance between Andrew and his mother though not as strongly.
But I don't see much of either of his parents in Owen though others are seeing it. To me, Owen might take after a grandparent maybe.

I have looked at this picture many times because I am perplexed. I can't see any of the guys in his face, because all I see is an insane resemblance to my grandfather I swear that he could be mistaken for my grandfather's son. I will try and find a picture of him so that I can show you all.

Bunnypanda, yes I see a resemblance between Owen & his mother. They have similar eyebrows, and the outer corners of their eyes turn upward on smiling.
Yes, Mrs. Wilson is a striking woman. As I am doing another portrait of her, I'm taken by how similar she looks to my mother's mother.
