I love your work. We all like to see you. Would love to see your wife with cello and son Louis at a favorite activity. Dont have to show faces for privacy. For the next portrait look pleased and think of how lucky we are to live long happy artist's lives! At 88 I sat for a portrait group and then demo from William Kalwick. That too took courage, having a group paint what they saw. The large one from Bill pleases my family and me, as a reasonbly happy portrait. I am almost 92 now and still painting. Would send you an image but cant on this platform.
OMG! I am 76 and the thought of having to look at myself long enough for a self portrait would be an exercise in terror. But I have to admit I would have said the same thing at 20! But I love doing portraits of my grandnieces. I have found I have to be "in love" with the subject. Love is the inspiration!
Thank you for all your wonderful work. My dear friend, Margaret Powers, took a workshop from you several years ago. We loved learning about you. Margaret sadly passed away suddenly last December.
I agree wholeheartedly with Sandy (above). And yes, I too love seeing your paintings every day or nearly every day and think whad a talented man you are.
Smiles are for photos. To grin at yourself while painting would be ultra weird. I like your intense serious expression, and, by the way, it's a gorgeous painting..(Happy Birthday)
