Thank you Patricia. You are very kind. And of course I wouldn't mind.
Rob the Catholic Church had traditionally been a provider of commissions in the region of Limburg although now a days this is not so apparent. My commission to paint the Bishop came as a result of two other portraits I had done of former seminary Rectors: purely a case of one thing leading to another, a phenomenon so important in this business. The historical aspect of such a commission appeals to me as well. It's like leaving something solid of the past behind. Thank you for your very kind remarks and best of luck with your Rector portrait.
