The commission goes home

(In the excitement I didn't get a 
super photo of the painting, but 
you get the idea! So much fun.
I'll visit the family and get
a better image.)
It was an exciting day today as my painting of Malia as a little girl, (she is
now 14), went home.  It is always a moving moment when you first show
a collector a painting that they've been waiting to see.  Malia's mother,
Carm, came to pick the painting up, and she was quite pleased.  Then
I carried the painting home for her (she lives around the corner) and 
Malia asked to see it.  She says she loves it.  High praise.

So that was a very rewarding experience.  Thanks so much Carm,
Jason, and Malia. Also thanks to Tobias, because it was his portrait as
a young boy for an HGTV program 15 years ago that inspired the idea of the
painting of Malia when she was a child.

Have a loving your life day.
