Thank you Cynthia - I appreciate it.
I really want to do something with the emotions or moods in all my paintings. Im hoping to stay away from 'bland' looks. I would love it if I could get commissions that are more like this....with an attitude, something that says more about the sitter than just a pleasant expression. Im not sure how many folks would want to be painted that way though......

That's why I am glad I can sell my figuratives as well as take on commissions. The best of both worlds.
