| Very happy with the portrait. |
Nerves get a bit rattled when portrait subjects meet the painting of them for the first time. When a painting is at the point that I'm willing to declare it done, it's been pretty well pondered/self-critiqued/perfected. Still, today was a joy.
I leaned it up on the mantle of our family room ... which is in clear view the moment you step into the front door. Bob and Lizzie loved it from back there. It wasn't a think about it response ... just a clear resounding great.
Yea, again.
We'll meet at the framer's shortly and soon it will be hanging .... delivered and hung by Randy and me ... in their home.
Their painting is one of a small number of commissions I do per year. Find out more on my web site ... click on commissions.
Cool beans.
