Pat,

I have read and reread your profound post. I do not think I have read a more accurate and beautiful meaning of and raison d'etre for art.

I think portraits are all too often hobbled by the interference of clients. It is impossible for them to share your vision. When you cede power to them by always acquiescing to their desires in the guise of pleasing them, you are painting their picture, their vision, not yours.

Thank-you for posting this.
