Happy New Year everyone. Here's to an amazing2013. I know it will be. On Christmas eve I
delivered this family portrait to a very appreciative
client. The painting was a surprise Christmas
present for her husband, and it was a long time in
the making.
The two girls in the painting, my client's daughters,
are dazzling and delightful. They are multi-talented,
and seem to go to a school that encourages genius
and self-confidence. Plus they are completely
unaware that they are unusual or special. Part
of the pleasure of painting this portrait (and it
was so much fun), was thinking about what a great
mother my client is, and how fun and funny her
children are.
The family got a photo
with the portrait and
the Christmas tree in the background.
I hope you have a fantastic New Year's Eve, andhere's to a joyous, creative, love-filled, peaceful
and adventure filled year in 2013. Thank you
for making 2012 one of the most rewarding of
my artistic life. To all my friends in blogland,
Happy, Happy New Year!
Have a loving-your-family day.
