Thanks, Mischa! As you pointed out, this was more than "Just a commission;" it was an experience. I did remember him, but it was more a general sense of the way he was in life, rather than any specific memories of events.
As for keeping on painting, I really appreciate your encouragement, Mischa! I don't think I
could stop!
Lacey, you and I have been down similar paths in many ways. Thank you.
to you, too.
