[Chris Saper]

Multiples are always somehow much more difficult than a group of singles - having a client who trusted me to carry out the vision made it so worthwhile.

While I will never paint like JSS, my client's favorite all-time painting fave is Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose. So I painted the lower section of the Sargent into the frame behind the sofa - its is always fun to include little oddities like this into a portrait where the client and I know what it is but most people wouldn't.
