This is a portrait I just delivered for Father's Day. I was really happy with the way it turned out - It's not a great picture (taken with a cell phone) but it'll do for display here! When they came to pick up, the client got teary-eyed, which for an artist is always a good sign. She said that I captured the personality of the kids so well and she didn't know if she would be able to hold onto it until father's day because she was so excited. She told me that she kept asking her husband if he wanted his present early and he kept telling her NO! So, she actually waited until the morning of to give it to him! He loved it. She called me later that day to tell me that I am a Rock Star! Her mother even wants a copy of it to hang in her house! It is such an exciting opportunity for an artist to be given the chance to draw a portrait. It's one of my favorite things to do. So, now I'm onto a new one (this client actually ordered TWO PORTRAITS) and can't wait to see the reaction I get from this one! Happy Day Everyone!!
