Tomorrow I am delivering my first commissioned portrait. Since it's a Christmas present I realize I can't say much more than that, much less show the work in question. (This gives you a great reason to check back into the bog on December 26th.) I think the canvass I am delivering is a good meeting of the lady's likeness and my style. I worry a bit because, as the great portrait artist John Sargent said, "every time I paint a portrait, I lose a friend." I hope that's not the case here. Otherwise I will have to find someone else to lunch with every Wednesday. Since you are reading this, I figure the least I can do is, in place of the commissioned work, show a "non-commissioned" piece. Here 'tis.
