This is the third of my "Blue Trilogy." It's a posthumous portrait done from a small (2") black and white photo showing her from the neck up, in an evening dress . The canvas is 60" tall.

Tom,
I'm always curious about how commissions get consumated, especially something that was born of such humble beginnings. Did someone bring this small photo to you and instruct you to create something from your own imagination, or, did you first see this photo and suggest to them what the possibilities could be?
Obviously the trust required to begin a project like this (so much from so little) was justified.
