Thanks to all
Cindy, Beth, Ngaire and Julie, I really appreciate what you said about this portrait! You picked up on the instant flash of "gotta paint this!" that I felt when I was sitting across from her at the table. The whole scene with all its objects and drawings on the wall was a complete composition, or maybe a still life with a person in it, asking to be painted. Add to this the fact that Nancy Bea paints still life, and I couldn't resist.
Garth, it was so enjoyable talking with you yesterday. Thanks so much for taking the time to come to my studio and lugging that heavy painting along. It is absolutely stunning in person! Hope it survived the rainstorm. Thanks so much again for your support and encouraging words!
Alex
